Real Madrid key target unmoved despite Manchester United’s continued insistence | OneFootball

When Real Madrid knocks, it is a different knock. That sentiment has been illustrated in many transfer sagas over the years and is being repeated once again in the case of Leny Yoro.

The French center-back has allured the interest of many European bigwigs, but has his heart set on Real Madrid, causing all sorts of problems for his club Lille, who wish to secure a more lucrative deal or retain their rising star for future success.

Yoro has his sights set on Real Madrid

Indeed, according to L’Equipe, Manchester United are adamant about signing Leny Yoro, but the player lacks enthusiasm for the move. His sights are firmly set on Real Madrid.

The Red Devils are reportedly ready to pay a higher sum than Los Blancos as they aim to fortify the back-line with new faces this summer.

However, Yoro’s reluctance to join the English outfit has strengthened Real Madrid’s chances of acquiring him for a fee of €40 million.

Moreover, the report argues that Jorge Mendes is pushing for Leny Yoro to join Real Madrid. His influence over the club and player could be decisive in Lille letting him go.

With the super agent pulling the strings behind the scenes, the Merengues still have a stake in the race.

Yoro is growing anxious

However, it goes without saying that the saga’s protracted nature is starting to take its toll on Yoro, who wishes to seek a resolution, as is typical of any player facing an uncertain future.

The report goes on to add that Yoro is starting to become worried regarding his transfer saga, according to sources close to him.

It remains to be seen how long he holds firm on his decision to join Madrid. With this being the final year of his contract, it is likely Lille will eventually come around and submit to his wish.
