Manchester United appear to be one step closer to signing France and Lille highly rated centre-back Leny Yoro this summer.
Following Raphael Varane’s departure from the club at the end of the season coupled with Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez’s injury setbacks and Jonny Evans’ advanced age.
Erik ten Hag is in desperate need of some young, rising talent at the back, Leny Yoro looks to be the right fit for the role.
The 18-Year-Old French defender truly showed his worth in what was only his second full season as a professional in Lille’s first team.
Meanwhile, Sources told Footyvaild that French giants Lille have rejected an initial €50 million bid from Liverpool for the centre-back, which now gives Manchester United a huge opportunity to step in for the young French man.
According to reports, Lille are reportedly requested a €60 million opening bid for the player, something United have already come close to with their first bid
Given that Manchester United reportedly have a £140 million war chest for the summer transfer window, Yoro’s transfer is well within the realms of possibility even before United are able to make any sales.
