The Guardian has revealed that negotiations for Leny Yoro’s personal terms with Manchester United are underway, stirring significant interest among fans in recent weeks. While earlier reports hinted at Yoro’s preference for Real Madrid, where he aimed to transition after completing his contract with Lille on a free transfer, Manchester United’s proactive pursuit has reshaped the bargaining table. According to The Guardian, discussions have commenced after Lille accepted a £52 million bid.

Yoro now faces a crucial decision: whether to commit to the Red Devils or await a potential counteroffer from Real Madrid. The report by The Guardian also speculates on the possibility of Yoro extending his stay at Lille for another season.

In the meantime, bolstering the center-back position remains a top priority for Old Trafford, particularly following Raphael Varane’s departure. Alongside Yoro, Manchester United is engaged in negotiations with Matthijs de Ligt.
