Lille centre-back Leny Yoro has been touched by interest from Man Utd in his signature as the Red Devils battle Real Madrid, according to reports.
The Red Devils are looking to make a number of early moves in the transfer market after making Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee their first summer signing over the weekend in a deal worth around £36.5m.
Everton s imminent sale of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa is likely to spell the end of interest in Jarrad Branthwaite as the Toffees will maintain that the Red Devils must pay their £70m-plus asking price.
Man Utd are now reportedly focusing their efforts on signing Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich while there have been claims that they have had a bid accepted for Lille centre-back Yoro.
The Red Devils offer was for €50m and the Premier League outfit has made convincing arguments to sign Yoro with Man Utd even willing to increase their offer to €60m to get ahead of Real Madrid in the race to sign the Frenchman.

Despite Real Madrid seemingly having the advantage with the player, Yoro is said to be touched by interest from Man Utd and views their bid as significant after Erik ten Hag took concrete steps to sign him.

Another big story from yesterday was Man United’s official bid for Leny Yoro, which was accepted by Lille, Romano said last week.
The club president Olivier Letang is now pushing for Yoro to join Man United, as that is now the best proposal they have on the table – it’s €50m plus add-ons that could take the deal up to €60m.

So, Man United are offering big money to Lille to anticipate all the other clubs, but now the decision is for Yoro. Lille hope he will decide to go Old Trafford, but Real Madrid are still there, they are still confident and feel they are in control. Why? Because Real Madrid have been very clear – the only way to close the deal is on their conditions, they will not over-pay for Yoro when he’s due to be out of contract next summer.
