Man United close to signing Leny Yoro for five years
Manchester United have clinched the signing of Leny Yoro, with the young defender set to undergo medical tests in the UK. The Red Devils reached a €50 million agreement with LOSC Lille, outbidding Real Madrid, Liverpool, and PSG for the 18-year-old’s signature.
Despite Yoro’s initial preference for a move to Real Madrid, their reluctance to match United’s offer allowed the Premier League giants to seal the deal. The teenager, who had entered the final year of his contract at Lille, now looks set to commit to a five-year deal at Old Trafford.

Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Yoro has completed the first part of his medical, while David Ornstein reported that the full medical process is now complete. Yoro’s arrival is expected to conclude Manchester United’s pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt, as they are unwilling to meet the €50 million plus add-ons demand for the Dutch defender.
This move highlights United’s ambition to secure top young talent, reinforcing their defensive options for the future. Yoro’s potential and development will be closely watched as he integrates into Erik ten Hag’s squad.
