TERMS AGREED: Player Agent now in London to finalize deal for sensational £75m South American superstar who gave Hujlund though time last season – agreement set to be reached tonight as announcement will be done tomorrow morning if sealed tonight
Manchester United are aggressively pursuing the acquisition of Leny Yoro, a highly sought-after young talent in the current transfer window.
According to a recent report from AS, the Red Devils have made a bid that closely aligns with Lille’s valuation for Yoro.
In the latest update from Marca (see attached news image), Manchester United are described as being on the ‘offensive’ in their efforts to secure Yoro’s signature.
The well-known Madrid-based outlet reports that the French prodigy, whose contract with Lille expires next year, is attracting interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool. Real Madrid, the reigning Spanish La Liga champions, are eyeing Yoro as a long-term successor to their captain, Nacho, whose future will likely be determined after the European Championships in Germany.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, Liverpool, and PSG have already made moves to acquire Yoro. However, the player appears to be stalling their advances, as he hopes to join the Champions League winners.
Yesterday, the Portuguese media outlet Record disclosed that Liverpool have made an initial offer of 50 million euros for the 18-year-old, but Lille are holding out for a fee of 70 million euros (approximately £59 million).
According to Marca, PSG have already matched Lille’s asking price, yet Yoro has not made his final decision.
Considering Yoro’s contract has only 12 months remaining, should Manchester United invest £59 million in him?
