Manchester United are poised to bolster their defense with the signing of Lille defender Leny Yoro, with the player set to undergo a medical test with the club.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a renowned football transfer expert, United have agreed to a €50m fixed fee plus €12m add-ons with Lille for Yoro’s services. This development comes after United outbid Real Madrid for the Frenchman’s signature.
In a tweet on Wednesday morning, Romano confirmed the development, saying: “Manchester United have booked travel and medical tests for Leny Yoro! Plan ready after agreement reached with Lille last week for €50m fixed fee plus €12m add-ons. There’s still work needed to get the deal done, Man United now confident as @David_Ornstein reports.”
If the deal is completed, Yoro will become United’s second summer signing, following the arrival of Joshua Zirkzee. The signing of Yoro is expected to strengthen United’s defense, with the Frenchman bringing his wealth of experience and skills to the team.
The Red Devils are keen to wrap up the deal quickly, with the new season fast approaching. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of Yoro’s signing, which is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
