With his season as a leader (30 starts in Ligue 1), his young age (18 years old), and his contract ending in 2025, it was obvious that Leny Yoro would be one of the attractions of the summer transfer window. He has already animated the winter transfer window 2024, since Paris Saint-Germain did everything possible to complete his transfer and overtake the competition. But he came up against an inflexible LOSC, who still hoped to extend his player.
This is no longer the case, the Dogues management has acknowledged the fact that Yoro would not extend his lease and that he would therefore be sold this summer. But not at any price, since LOSC values its player extremely highly despite his contractual situation. This is why it refused the offer, considered far too low, of €20 million from Real Madrid. But Real Madrid had two aces up its sleeve: the player’s desire to join the Casa Blanca, and the presence of Jorge Mendes as an agent.
MU more and more attractive
It was therefore decided to play the waiting game, Real feeling in a strong position, and wanting to force the Lille club to bend on the gong. But Manchester United arrived with a resounding offer of €60 million including bonuses, which delighted the northern leaders. The offer was accepted by the club, but not yet by the player, who was indifferent to the approach of the Red Devils. But this is less and less the case.
Some members of his entourage are now pushing for a transfer to England, especially since Leny Yoro could very well make a place for himself quickly. Perhaps even more easily than at Real Madrid. Manchester United is therefore a plausible destination today, even if the player has not yet decided, just like his agent. Contractual discussions are underway between the parties. But after having finally managed to secure Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid could this time be overtaken in the Yoro case.
