Earlier this week, Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Leny Yoro blew up in smoke. Club bosses had the 18-year-old as their leading defensive target for the summer transfer window, but having failed to agree a fee with Lille, Manchester United have now swooped in to acquire his services themselves.
On Thursday, Man United made the Yoro signing official. He arrives for an initial price of €50m, which will include significant add-ons, and pens a five-year contract, which does include an option for the deal to be extended by an additional 12 months.
This is home.
Bienvenue a Manchester United, @Leny_Yoro!

Losing out on Yoro is a big blow for Real Madrid, and currently, they do not have any plans to identify an alternative signing. As things stand, it means that they will head into the new season with Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao as their first-choice pairing in the centre of defence, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Jesus Vallejo will also be options at the disposal of head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
