Man Utd agreed a deal in principle to sign Lille defender Leny Yoro last week and the Frenchman is closing in on a move to Old Trafford after opting to join the Red Devils
Manchester United are on the brink of signing Leny Yoro from Lille for a fee that could rise to £59m. The 18-year-old defender is set to sign a five-year deal, with an option to extend by a further year, pending a successful medical.
The Frenchman is poised to become Erik ten Hag's second summer signing, after Joshua Zirkzee's £36.5m move from Bologna. Yoro, who has been likened to Virgil van Dijk, was previously pursued by Real Madrid, but they were unwilling to match United's offer.READ MORE: Everton baffled by Leny Yoro fee amid United bids for Jarrad Branthwaite
United's pursuit of defensive reinforcements doesn't end with Yoro, although they will need to offload players before making further additions. The club has already had bids for Jarrod Branthwaite rejected this summer, with Everton turning down offers of £43m and £50m, holding out for a figure closer to £70m.
The situation at Goodison Park has been somewhat alleviated by the impending sale of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa for £50m. Onana, who joined Everton from Lille in 2022 for £30m, made 37 appearances for the club in various competitions.
