Lille accept Manchester United offer for Leny Yoro – report

Real Madrid have made Lille defender Leny Yoro their top target for the remainder of the summer, and are confident of getting a deal done. However with Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool interested, Manchester United have taken the step to try and hijack their deal.

The Red Devils have offered Lille €50m plus bonuses for Yoro, and offer which has been accepted, as per Nabil Djellit. He goes on to report that it is much higher than Los Blancos’ offer, but Yoro remains intent on signing for Real Madrid – United are trying to persuade him otherwise though.

Info : Manchester United a fait une offre écrite pour Lenny Yoro de 50 M€ et des bonus. Acceptée par Lille. Elle est nettement supérieure à la proposition du Real Madrid, loin d’avoir finalisé le deal. La priorité du joueur reste le Real mais Manchester United pousse #Mercato pic.twitter.com/692aDega7O

This week it was reported that Real Madrid have tried to accelerate negotiations for Yoro, and hope to have a deal done this week. They are currently in negotiations with Lille themselves to find an agreement on a fee, which The Athletic say would be followed by a six-year deal. Several reports say that Yoro has already agreed terms, and they remain favourites for his signature.
