Manchester United star has verbal agreement with Red Devils over Real Madrid transfer in future: Reports
New Manchester United acquisition Leny Yoro is reportedly set to join Real Madrid in the future as part of an agreement with his current club. Yoro, a young centre-back, was signed by the Red Devils this summer for £52 million.
Although Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool also showed interest in the 18-year-old, Manchester United secured his transfer. Real Madrid had initially hoped to acquire Yoro on a free transfer, as they did with Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, but Lille preferred a direct sale to address their financial issues.
Defensa Central (via Fichajes) reports that Yoro has a verbal agreement with Manchester United to move to Real Madrid in a few years, contingent on specific terms being met. One of these conditions is that Real Madrid must match the transfer fee paid by United to Lille for Yoro.
Yoro’s start at Manchester United has been challenging due to an injury sustained during a pre-season friendly. He underwent surgery and is expected to be out for about three months.
Despite this setback, Yoro expressed his enthusiasm for joining Manchester United. He was impressed by the club’s development plan and their commitment to his growth.
“Joining a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is a tremendous honor,” Yoro stated after his transfer (via BBC). He added that the club presented a clear development plan and showed genuine care for him and his family.
At just 18 years old, Yoro believes Manchester United is the ideal place for him to realize his potential and achieve his goals. He is eager to begin his journey with his new teammates.
