Manchester United have set their sights on young LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro and intend to sign him at the end of the season. At 18, Yoro is considered one of Europe’s most promising defensive talents and his potential has attracted the attention of big-name clubs including Real Madrid.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, Manchester United have made Yoro a priority on their transfer list for the upcoming transfer window. The young Frenchman is an integral part of Lille’s first team and is believed to have the defensive and technical skills needed to succeed in the demanding Premier League. Furthermore, his arrival could provide a long-term option to cover possible departures, such as those of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, who have been the subject of rumors about their futures at Old Trafford.

However, Manchester United are not alone in the race for Yoro. Real Madrid have also shown interest in the talented defender, which could complicate the situation for the Red Devils. The appeal of the Spanish club, with its prestige and tradition of winning trophies, could present difficult competition for the English team.
Furthermore, the cost of acquiring Yoro is estimated at €60 million, a significant but manageable sum for clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid. Despite the high valuation, Yoro is credited with having the potential to justify this investment throughout his football career.
For Yoro, the decision about his future will depend not only on the financial aspect, but also on the sporting project that each club offers him. He will look for a team where he can play a prominent role and contribute to the team’s success. With his future still unclear, Yoro’s ultimate fate will be one of the most interesting topics of the upcoming transfer window.
