Leny Yoro on his way to Manchester, Red Devils book medical tests

Manchester United have made advances in securing the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille. Fabrizio Romano reports that the club has booked travel and medical tests for the talented defender after reaching an agreement with Lille last week for a transfer fee of €50 million, with an additional €12 million in potential add-ons. The urgency to finalize the deal stems from United’s desire to avoid a potential hijack from rival clubs.

The proposed contract for Yoro is valid until June 2029, with an option for an additional season. The deal includes a structured salary increase each year, reflecting the club’s commitment to retaining the young talent for the long term. Yoro and his family are set to travel to England, where they will review the final contract details and complete the necessary medical examinations.

The Red Devils’ board is keen to expedite the formal steps to ensure the transfer is completed swiftly. The club’s urgency is underscored by interest from Real Madrid, who are also aware of Yoro’s impending move to England. United’s management is determined to finalize all aspects of the transfer promptly to secure the highly sought-after defender.
