Real Madrid move for Leny Yoro in jeopardy as player set to travel to seal deal with Manchester United

Real Madrid look as if they will miss out on Leny Yoro, as Manchester United move within striking distance of signing their top-remaining target this summer. The 18-year-old central defender is set to travel to England to wrap up a deal with the Red Devils.

Yoro, 18, has been identified as a generational talent, and Real Madrid have already reached an agreement on personal terms with him. Last week they began talks with Lille, but are keen not to overspend on Yoro, as he has just a year left on his deal there, and are not close to an agreement.

Manchester United on the other hand have moved to usurp Los Blancos, as per The Athletic. They report that after Lille accepted a €50m offer plus €12m in variables last week, Yoro is now warming to the idea of joining United, and they have booked travel for Yoro to head to England to continue discussions.
