Manchester United is very active in recruiting Lenny Yoro, which Real Madrid is aiming for.

Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 9th (Korea time), "LOSC Lille accepted Manchester United's official offer of 50 million euros (about 75 billion won) for Yoro. Lille told Yoro that he accepted Manchester United's offer because it is the best offer currently at the negotiating table.'

Yoro is a super-special prospect who has emerged as the biggest fish in the transfer market this summer. A player born in 2005 and still under 20 years old has made a huge presence in Ligue 1 in France. Since two years ago, Yoro has gradually increased his playing time as a rotation member in Lille.



In his second year as a professional, Yoro became the starting center back of Lille. It was not just a leap forward as a main player. After the end of the 2023-2024 season, Yoro was named Team Centerback of the Year along with Paris Saint-Germain's Marquignos. Since Yoro is now 18 years old, expectations are already high on how far he will grow.

Yoro still has a lot of time to grow and a lot of room to grow, but he already has so much. He is 190 centimeters tall, and his physical condition is already very good. He is a player who has not even reached adulthood, so his muscles are not as complete as other center backs, but he is never pushed back in the struggle. Although he is tall, he has a very wide range of defense due to his fast speed, and his tackle power using long legs is also very excellent. He is also considered a next-generation world class center back because of his good ability to deploy the ball from the back.



With only one year left on his contract with Lille, it is very likely that Yoro will move his team in the transfer market this summer. Liverpool, PSG and Bayern Munich were interested, and Real Madrid also moved to sign Yoro. Yoro was in the process of wanting to go to Real, but Manchester United made a clear move.

Real didn't want to pay a lot of transfer fees for the prospect, who will be released on free agency a year later. If Yoro remains in Lille, he even has a plan to take him a year later. But Lille's position is different. I want to sell the Yoro now to earn money on the transfer fee. That's why I accepted Manchester United's offer.



The decision is now up to Yoro. Go to Manchester United now and compete for a starting position, or play for another year at Lille and wait for Real's offer. Romano said "Yoro's top priority has always been Real. I'm waiting for their proposal. The decision has to be made by Yoro. Real remain calm even after Manchester United put in an official offer.
