New details have emerged about Manchester United’s contract for Lille striker Leny Yoro, who is now just one step away from being the club’s latest signing.
Earlier on Wednesday, the dependable David Ornstein revealed that Yoro was traveling to the United Kingdom to complete his United medical. This occurred when the Red Devils reached an agreement with Lille over the teenager’s transfer fee.
It was widely stated that Real Madrid was Yoro’s desired destination, but the reigning La Liga winners refused to accept Lille’s asking price.
Madrid’s dithering and United’s strenuous efforts to persuade the defender that his future is at Old Trafford appear to have finally persuaded Yoro to seriously consider joining Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Ornstein has since provided an update on the issue, indicating that Yoro is set to sign his contract with United within the next 24 hours.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano sealed the deal with his renowned “here we go” slogan.
According to Foot Mercato, Yoro will sign his United contract tomorrow morning and will then be legally identified as a Red Devils player.
According to the news outlet, “Leny Yoro (18 years old) has agreed to join Manchester United! The teenage LOSC defender has finished his medical checks after arriving in England for the procedure. “With success.”
“According to our information, he also visited the Mancunian club’s facilities this afternoon.”
“The contract signing and official transfer are scheduled for tomorrow morning. As a reminder, the Dogues will receive around €62 million.
Yoro, who is already one of the finest players in Europe at the age of 18, will join United.
Last season, the Frenchman won 65% of his aerial duels, 61% of his ground duels, and completed 92% of his passes in Ligue 1.
