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 😳🙀

Manchester United are making significant strides in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, with advanced discussions already in place and a hopeful outlook for securing his signature soon.

Additionally, the club is targeting another young central defender. Reports indicate that Lille has accepted United’s £42 million bid for the teenage prodigy, Leny Yoro.

Florian Plettenberg has reported that United is optimistic about Yoro committing to the club shortly. They have proposed an initial five-year contract for the 18-year-old, who is set 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.

The potential transfer of De Ligt, reuniting him with manager Erik ten Hag, could be imminent.

Yoro, a highly coveted player on United’s transfer list, is seen as a ‘unique market opportunity.’ The club is currently in a strong position to sign him ahead of Madrid.

Real Madrid has stated they will not exceed a £34 million offer for Yoro, considering his contract with Lille ends after the 2024/25 season. The Spanish club hopes Yoro will remain with Lille this summer, allowing them to sign him on a pre-contract in January.

However, it is believed that the ‘very ambitious’ Yoro will not let his contract run down out of respect for his boyhood club. He is likely to move for a substantial transfer fee.
