Manchester United Face Setback as Real Madrid Prepare New Bid for Lille Defender Leny Yoro

Real Madrid’s Persistence Puts Pressure on Manchester United’s Pursuit of Young Talent

Manchester United have encountered a significant challenge in their pursuit of Lille defender Leny Yoro, as Real Madrid prepares to table a new offer for the highly sought-after 18-year-old. French football journalist Fabrice Hawkins reports that Real Madrid will imminently increase their previously rejected bid of €20 million plus €10 million in bonuses.

Yoro, who has expressed a clear preference to join Real Madrid over Manchester United, has prioritized a move to the European champions. The two football giants are locked in a battle over the young defender, who impressed with his performances in Ligue 1 this past season, featuring in 44 matches across all competitions and catching the attention of numerous clubs.

Last week, Manchester United had a sizeable offer for Yoro accepted, believed to be in excess of €60 million. However, Real Madrid’s smaller offer of around €30 million was rejected by Lille. Despite this, it has been widely reported that Yoro favors a move to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Lille is pushing for the defender to join Manchester United due to the significantly higher financial gain from the English side.

Paris Saint-Germain also shows interest in Yoro, whose contract expires next year, but it is Manchester United and Real Madrid who have made formal offers for the teenager.

Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Yoro’s situation on Tuesday, stating, “Leny Yoro will decide his future in the next days and it will be the player deciding. The proposal from Manchester United is still on the table, is still there, is still valid, is still accepted by Lille and still pending on the player’s side. Leny Yoro is taking his time to decide. The president of Lille, Olivier Letang, is insisting a lot, pushing a lot for Leny Yoro to accept the proposal from Manchester United because Man United are offering way more than Real Madrid – €50 million (£42 million) plus add-ons. So, Lille are pushing for the player to go to Manchester United. The player is still taking his time, with Real Madrid his biggest dream.”
