Manchester United are in advanced talks to land 26yrs old ‘super talented Rolls Royce’ player to Old Trafford Stadium- player’s wages isn’t a problem as Erik Ten Hag sees him competent enough to wear the Reds shirt
Manchester United is in dire need of strengthening their central defense this summer, and one name that continues to circulate in the rumor mill is Leny Yoro. This promising young talent from Lille is reportedly keen on making a move to Old Trafford.
Earlier today, reports surfaced highlighting the 18-year-old French defender’s desire to join Manchester United. Further fueling the speculation, Marca has reported that Manchester United is among the clubs that have already held meetings with Yoro.
According to the Madrid-based media outlet, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are the primary clubs vying for Yoro’s signature this summer. Real Madrid is also interested, but their pursuit may hinge on the future of their captain, Nacho Fernandez.
Real Madrid’s defensive lineup already boasts top-tier talent with players like Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Éder Militão. As such, their bid for Yoro might only proceed if Nacho fails to renew his contract by June 30th.
Lille has valued Yoro at a hefty £42m-£51m. However, due to financial constraints, they might be compelled to accept a lower offer. Marca suggests that Real Madrid believes Lille could be persuaded to reduce their asking price to around 35-40 million euros when formal negotiations begin.
Given these developments, Manchester United fans and analysts are eagerly debating who the club should target to bolster their central defense during the summer transfer window. Should they go all in for Yoro, or consider other options to ensure they solidify their backline for the upcoming season?
