David · Ornstein, an authoritative transfer expert on The Athletic, said that Manchester United would like to acquire Lille's 18-year-old talent Lenny · Yoro this summer, so they have even postponed the introduction of Bayern Munich's De Ligt, hoping to wait for the France young centre-back, who is known to have a "childhood dream", to make a decision. For this, Manchester United seem to be sparing no expense.
It is reported that Manchester United believe that if they want to sign the 24-year-old De Ligt from Bayern, it will be very straightforward, as long as the fee is negotiated with the club. Yoro's situation is much more complicated, not only will he need to satisfy Lille with the transfer fee, but he will also have to convince Yoro to choose the Red Devils.
De Ligt has shown a strong interest in a move and there are rumours that he is willing to accept a pay cut, with United and Bayern Munich still in talks over a transfer fee, which could range from €50 million to €60 million (£42 million to £50.4 million).
As for Yoro, Manchester United initially made an offer of €50 million from Lille, which was accepted, and the Ligue 1 club must sell Yoro this summer as he only has one year left on his contract. Everyone knows that the player is more inclined to join Real Madrid and the Galaxy are interested in him, but they are reluctant to match Manchester United's offer.
New rumours on Monday suggest that Manchester United are willing to give Lille €60 million in the hope that they will force Yoro to choose himself rather than wait for Real Madrid. Manchester United's move is said to be driven by new sporting director Dan · Ashworth, who believes Yoro will be France's next superstar and worth the price.
According to the French media, Manchester United's efforts have also attracted the attention of Yoro and flattered him, promising to make a decision by the weekend. The row of Champions League trophies behind Mbappe's signing for Real Madrid is the source of the Bernabeu's appeal. Today's Manchester United can only use financial interests and main positions to try to attract Yoro. The Athletic's report was significant: "Manchester United have been quite straight in terms of the wages they pay Joro."
The high income impressed Lille, Yoro's agent and Yoro's family, and Yoro, who was only 18 years old, was not immune to vulgarity because they gave too much. It is said that both Yoro and his parents are now open to joining Manchester United. According to French media reports, Manchester United have opened personal treatment negotiations with Yoro.
According to him, Manchester United are now ahead of Real Madrid in the competition for Yoro. Red Devils legend Louis ·Saha also said bluntly: "Yes, Manchester United should give more money because of the current position of the club, they are not in the Champions League, and Real Madrid are the defending champions. It's as simple as that."
The former France striker added: "Everyone knows what attracts players and sometimes you need to look at your trajectory and opportunities to improve. Yoro would have thought the same thing, but that won't stop him from playing for other clubs. Manchester United may not qualify for next season's Champions League, but we may be strong in two or three years, so anything can change. Life doesn't stop at today, you need to think about the future. I definitely see Manchester United have a better structure and Yoro may also realise that he will think about it and hopefully he will make the right decision.'
In addition to the high price, high salary and high commission, Manchester United may also abandon the transfer of De Ligt, which was once a certainty, in order to secure Yoro's main position. Ornstein reported that Sir Jim · Ratcliffe would only choose one of Yoro and De Ligt, not both. Because INEOS offered such a high transfer fee to Joro, who only had one year left on his contract, Bayern naturally asked for an increase in De Ligt's transfer price. The Telegraph said that Yoro was Manchester United's first choice, and that United would sign a spare tire for De Ligt if they couldn't buy him.
However, it is worth mentioning that the most credible transfer figures at the moment, including Ornstein and Fabrizio · Romano, have not mentioned that Yoro has been impressed by Manchester United. Therefore, fans may need to let the bullets fly for a while, after all, De Ligt's transfer has also been rumored to be a foregone conclusion.
Real Madrid have completed the official announcement of Mbappe and it is said that they may make another offer. If the Galaxy match United's conditions, then the tide of victory and defeat could be reversed. Another thing that worries Red Devils fans is that even if Yoro succeeds after joining Manchester United, it is almost inevitable that there will be rumours with the Galaxy every transfer window, just like his compatriot Paul Pogba. And if Yoro can't play at his value, then Manchester United will be reduced to a joke, although this is a little less risky, because this is the player that Real Madrid is interested in.
