Man United ready to agree £54.6million asking price to sign Lille superstar defender ahead of Real Madrid

Man Utd and Lille have reportedly agreed on a fee for the signing of French defender Leny Yoro, according to numerous reports.

Two days ago, ESPN exclusively disclosed that the Red Devils and the Ligue 1 team had reached an agreement worth 45 million euros to entice the 18-year-old talent.

But according to the Manchester Evening News print version from today (Page 46), Man Utd has agreed to pay £54.6 million, or 65 million euros, to sign Leny Yoro.

According to MEN, Erik ten Hag’s team is still awaiting word from the adolescent phenom regarding his desire to transfer to Old Trafford.

The teenage player wants to join his countrymen Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni at Real Madrid, who are looking to replace Nacho.

It is stated that in the summer transfer window, Manchester United are open to signing not one, not two, but three center backs to improve the defense that leaked goals on regular basis last term.

Apart from Leny Yoro, the Red Devils have targeted Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, for whom they have already seen a couple of bids rejected.

Moreover, Ten Hag wants to reunite with former captain, De Ligt, at United
