Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Lille to sign the promising young defender Leny Yoro for a whopping €45 million. This significant bid comes in the midst of a fierce battle for the player’s signature, with Real Madrid also vying for his services. Despite Yoro’s preference to play for Los Blancos, United are hoping to sway Lille with their substantial offer.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, remain confident in their ability to secure the talented centre-back. Sources suggest that Madrid have had an agreement in place with Yoro for some time, giving them an edge in the negotiations. While Madrid has not yet tabled a formal offer to Lille, they are optimistic about their chances of landing the French star.
In addition to Manchester United and Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain has also shown interest in acquiring Yoro. However, Madrid seems to be the frontrunners in the race for the young defender, with their pre-existing agreement with the player playing a crucial role in their pursuit.
Yoro’s contract with Lille is set to expire in June 2025, and he has no intention of renewing it. As a result, Lille is under pressure to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. The 18-year-old made his debut for Lille at the end of the 2021-22 season, impressing with his physicality and ball-playing skills.
With Nacho opting to join Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah after his contract expired, Real Madrid are in need of defensive reinforcements. Carlo Ancelotti is relying on players like Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and David Alaba to bolster the backline. However, the decision to sell Rafa Marín to Napoli has left Madrid in search of another defender to strengthen their squad.
The transfer battle for Leny Yoro between Manchester United and Real Madrid is heating up. While United have made a substantial bid for the young defender, Madrid’s pre-existing agreement with the player gives them an advantage in the negotiations. It remains to be seen which club will ultimately win the race for Yoro’s signature, but one thing is certain – both clubs are eager to secure his services for the upcoming season.
