In the Premier League this summer, Manchester United is getting close to making what might be the most spectacular deal of the window.
Real Madrid and Liverpool had expressed interest in Leny Yoro, but United was able to reach a deal with Lille to add the youthful defender to Old Trafford's roster.
Although Lille had long been interested in the 18-year-old, neither Real Madrid nor Liverpool could afford to pay the transfer fee.
United is currently in the lead in the competition for his services, and both the player and the club have reached a close accord.
Ineos will be ecstatic to complete this transaction and bring Manchester United a true triumph. United hasn't been able to pull off this kind of coup in a long time.
It is crucial to remember that this was a challenging race for United to win, even though they will be happy to close the deal.
Moving to Real Madrid was always Yoro's preferred option. Although Yoro may have been persuaded to accept United's offer by the substantial financial offer, a report by Marca claims that other factors also had a role.
Marca claims that Yoro was threatened by his club, Lille, to either accept United's offer or forfeit his right to play competitive football for a whole year.
Yoro was left with little option, given the purported threats. Playing football weekly as an eighteen-year-old with a ton of senior experience under his belt will have been his top priority.
United won't give a damn about the specifics of the agreement. All they will want is to know that they finished the task.
With Yoro, the team hopes to acquire a center-back who can guide United's defense for the last ten years.
