There are some reports that claim Man United are interested in signing LOSC Lille’s exceptional young defender, Leny Yoro. They also claim that they are in a very great position to buy the defender.
Last season, Man united defence was a waste as they conceded 85 goals in all competitions. Their defence got worse when they lost their top defenders like Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez to season-long injuries, and they were absent in almost all of the games in the season. This makes it important for them to improve their defence and the department’s defence for this season and in the future.
The defender has linked with the club many times in the media and the press. The club also had an offer for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, but the offer was turned down.
Man United is looking for a young defender with the ability to change the game
The personal terms with the player were done successfully. The player agreed to the terms, but the issue was that the price Everton was asking for the player was too much, as they were asking for around 70 million or maybe more than that.
The Red Devils weren’t in the mood to pay that much for the player, and they also made it clear to the club. The club has moved on to other targets, which they think they can sign.
Marc Guehi and Max Kilman are the two players that the fans and the media want as alternatives. The player that the Red Devils liked was Leny Yoro.
There are some reports that claim Man United has already made contact with Lille to inform them that they are keen on signing the player in this summer transfer window.
In other news that came out recently after United made contact with Lille, and the player himself is keen on joining the Red Devils this summer. There is other news that says the player has decided not to extend his contract with the French side in order to join the English side.
The Spanish giants Real Madrid were also keen in the player and wanted to sign him. This was before they knew the price Lille was asking for the player. The Spanish giants have decided to back out of the deal, and this news is good for United and for their fans.
A bidding war for the young defender
The only competition Man United faces is one of their rivals, Liverpool. These two clubs are the only ones who have shown interest in signing the player. The Premier League has high demands for defenders, especially young defenders.
Some French reporters say that Yoro is preferring a move to Real Madrid than Liverpool. The club that has already made an offer for him, but the player is yet to respond. He is currently not joining them.
And this is good news for the Red Devils, as recently they have also shown interest in the player. We all know that Real Madrid are out of the race as they are not taking interest in paying a large amount for the player.
So now the only clubs remaining in the race to sign the defender are Liverpool and Manchester United, and the defender does not want to join Liverpool, so there is a great chance that he might prefer Manchester United unless and until Real Madrid comes back for the player.
Yoro’s progress is a meteoric rise, and we all should not forget that he is just 18 years old. Which means he still has a lot of time to improve himself and mould himself into one of the best defenders in the world.
