LILLE’S YORO COMPLETES MAN UNITED MEDICAL AFTER £50m DEAL AGREED
Lille defender Leny Yoro is closing in on a move to Manchester United after a deal worth over £50m was agreed.
The 18-year-old completed a medical in England on Wednesday. He is expected to finalise the details of his contract on Thursday with a formal announcement of his move to follow.
Yoro will sign a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months. The deal is worth over £50m.
It was thought Real Madrid were the Frenchman’s preference, but United have been working to convince him to join them.
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt are players the club still admire – and remain options, subject to having budget and squad space available as the window evolves.
Signing two central defenders this summer is possible for Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag following the exits of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala, and further departures would increase that likelihood.
The move for Yoro comes with Lille finding themselves in a difficult situation because he has one year left on his deal and can speak to clubs outside of France from January.
