United are prepared to present an offer nearing €60 million (£51m/$65m) for the talented center-back Leny Yoro from Lille, according to Marca. Real Madrid is also expressing interest in the 18-year-old, but they advise patience regarding a potential move to Spain.
With a focus on bolstering their defensive lineup for the upcoming season, Manchester United has prioritized the 18-year-old as one of their primary targets. However, Real Madrid is hesitant to make an immediate offer and has advised the player’s agent against accepting any bids from Old Trafford.
The allure of the reigning European champions compared to a team that has faced challenges in asserting dominance in English football over the past decade may influence Yoro’s decision. Yet, the young player might find it easier to secure playing time under Erik ten Hag at United compared to Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.
Yoro had an exceptional season with Lille, securing a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1. He featured in 32 matches in France’s top division and is currently enjoying a well-deserved break. Both Madrid and United are actively shaping their recruitment strategies in anticipation of the 2024-25 campaign.
