Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is reportedly eager to leave the club and make a move to Real Madrid this summer. According to Defensa Central, the 19-year-old French centre-back regrets his decision to join United last year, and now he’s hoping to switch to the Spanish giants. Yoro, who was signed for a fee that could reach £58.9 million, has asked his agent, Jorge Mendes, to facilitate the transfer.
Yoro is said to have been Madrid’s top target before he moved to Manchester United. However, despite his desire to join Los Blancos, Real Madrid is not willing to pay the same transfer fee that United did for him, especially considering Yoro rejected Madrid’s advances last summer. Although the French defender has struggled with injuries, making just 30 appearances this season, his determination to move to Madrid is clear.
United, on the other hand, have no intention of selling Yoro, given the significant investment they made in the player just last summer. They are reportedly set to demand a high fee if they are forced to let him go. However, Madrid may have other defensive priorities, with Arsenal’s William Saliba reportedly their top target.
“Yoro regrets his decision last summer to join Man Utd,” the report noted, adding that the player is keen on a move to Madrid in the upcoming transfer window.
It remains to be seen whether Yoro will get his move to Madrid or if United will hold firm. With Madrid looking to strengthen their defense, the summer transfer window promises to be an interesting one for both clubs.
