Manchester United's 62 million smashed Real Madrid, and Yoro went to the UK for a physical examination with a weekly salary of 180,000! There is a premise for signing De Ligt

According to David · Ornstein, an authoritative transfer expert at The Athletic, Manchester United have locked in the signing of 18-year-old France centre-back Lenny · Yoro. He has travelled to Manchester for a medical and will finalise the details of the final terms of his contract.

Italy transfer expert Fabrizio · Romano added that Yoro will travel to England with his family and Manchester United have arranged a journey and medical for him. The club want to complete the deal as soon as possible so that there will be no more people cutting off the night. The club offered him a five-year contract, plus a one-year right of first refusal and an automatic salary increase every year.

Yoro's trip to England for a medical means Manchester United have finally beaten Real Madrid and will sign the coveted centre-back from Ligue 1 Lille to many European clubs. It was a huge success, and the way United succeeded, of course, was to throw money at it.

According to Ornstein, United reached an agreement with the two Lille clubs, with the Red Devils initially paying €62 million (£52 million) with a floating clause of almost $10 million. Fabrizio Romano's figure is a fixed amount of €50 million, plus a €12 million floating clause. According to the Manchester Evening News, the total value of the transfer fee plus the add-on is 70 million euros.

Either way, it was far beyond Real Madrid's offer, and Lille naturally gladly accepted. But the biggest challenge is getting Yoro himself to accept the deal, and his initial choice was to join Real Madrid.

But so far, the Galacticos have shown no willingness to engage in a price battle with Manchester United, and they are too arrogant to believe that the player will stick to his "dream of being a child", even if it means waiting a year before joining for free next summer. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool were also courting Yoro, but neither of them fought Real Madrid to the end, with only Manchester United holding on.

This attitude has led Lille to strongly support a deal with Manchester United's Yoro. Not only that, but Manchester United's golden dollar offensive naturally also involved Yoro's agent and family. Manchester United are rumoured to be paying Joro €9 million a year, equivalent to €180,000 (£150,000) a week. Eventually, the 18-year-old France phenom became interested in the idea of a move to Old Trafford.

According to Ornstein, Yoro's flight to Manchester City is a crucial step forward and United still have work to do, but as long as everything goes according to plan, Yoro will sign a sign. Despite spending a whopping €62 million for a player with just one year left on his contract, United's new football team has at least shown what they can do.

Manchester United did not give up when there was only a crack in the door, and they did everything they could to lure Yoro to the Theatre of Dreams. Barring an unexpected turn at the end, the mission is now close to success.

Yoro is a traditional centre-back, similar to Liverpool's Netherlands centre-back Virgil van Dijk, or Raphael Varane, who has left Manchester United. He is more adept at defending than a passing playmaker at the back and usually acts as the last barrier in Lille's defence. When he joins Manchester United, his characteristics will complement those of Argentina defenders Lisandro · Martinez, with Lima preferring to push forward and Joro behind him.

Manchester United remain interested in Bayern Munich's 24-year-old Netherlands international De Ligt and Everton's England 21-year-old centre-back Jarrad · Branthwaite, but The Athletic also stressed that once Yoro joins, any second-place centre-back will have to depend on the departure of players in the same position in the existing squad, so that there is room for funding, and perhaps only the cheaper De Ligt of the two has a silver lining.

As for the players on sale, Lima will certainly not leave, Evans has just signed a one-year extension, which means that the decision to stay and the sale price of Maguire and Lindelof will be key.
