After the transfer cost was agreed upon, Manchester United is waiting for Leny Yoro to make his final decision; an announcement regarding his arrival has been projected to be made this week. The club have discussed an initial five-year contract for the wonderkid. The 18-year-old is set to begin his next career line in the club
Manchester United are deep in negotiations with Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt and are hopeful of securing his signature soon.
The club also aims to bring in another young central defender. Reports indicate that Lille has accepted their £42 million offer for 18-year-old Leny Yoro.
Florian Plettenberg reports that United expects a commitment from Yoro shortly.
The club has proposed an initial five-year deal to the promising defender, who is expected to choose between United and Real Madrid in the coming days.
Yesterday, United confirmed the acquisition of striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, and more signings are anticipated in the near future.
De Ligt’s transfer to Manchester United to reunite with manager Erik ten Hag seems imminent.
Yoro is a high-priority target for United. They see him as a unique market opportunity and are in a strong position to secure his services over Madrid.
Real Madrid has stated they won’t exceed £34 million for Yoro, as his contract with Lille ends after the 2024/25 season.
Madrid is hesitant to increase their offer, hoping Yoro remains at Lille this summer to sign him on a pre-contract in January.
It seems unlikely that the ambitious Yoro will run down his contract, out of respect for his current club. A transfer for a substantial fee seems the most probable outcome.
