Manchester United has reportedly had a £52 million offer accepted by Lille for their 18-year-old defender, Leny Yoro. The young talent has emerged as a primary target for United’s defensive lineup, although they face competition from other clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain, all vying for Yoro’s signature. Yoro himself has yet to decide on his next career move.
Mail Sport indicates that Lille is eager to proceed with United’s bid as they look to wrap up their transfer dealings swiftly before the upcoming season. Negotiations between Manchester United and Yoro’s representatives are ongoing, as reported by The Guardian.
However, United manager Erik ten Hag could miss out on securing Yoro, with reports suggesting the player prefers a move to Real Madrid. Despite this preference, Real Madrid, following their recent high-profile signing of Kylian Mbappe, may not match United’s offer of £42 million plus an additional £10 million in potential add-ons. Real Madrid is reportedly considering waiting until next summer when Yoro could potentially become a free agent. This stance is prompting Lille to lean towards finalizing the deal with United sooner rather than later.
Alongside their pursuit of Yoro, Manchester United is actively targeting other defensive reinforcements, including Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, aiming to bolster their squad during the current transfer window.
In recent transfer activities, Manchester United has been proactive in raising funds for future signings, selling academy graduate Willy Kambwala to Villarreal and agreeing in principle to a £30 million deal sending Mason Greenwood to Marseille.
The club’s first major signing of the summer has been Netherlands international Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, secured for a fee of £36.5 million.
