Man Utd has made an offer to sign Lille’s Leny Yoro, but can they prevail in the competition to get him?
According to today’s edition of AS, the player’s desire and the transfer fee will ultimately decide the outcome of this transfer drama.

The 18-year-old defender wants to sign with Real Madrid, thus the Ligue 1 team wants to sell him for the highest price possible.
The Madrid-based news source claims that Yoro has received proposals from Paris Saint-Germain, Man United, and Liverpool.
He tells each prospective suitor that he wants to perform at the Bernabeu.
The high asking price presents a problem for the Los Blancos. Lille has placed a £59.2 million (70 million euro) price tag on it.
Real Madrid has set a maximum limit of 40 million euros, and they plan to reduce it to approximately 30 to 35 million euros.
It’s safe to say that the £59.2 million that Lille is requesting is a ridiculous amount of money for a teenager whose contract is set to expire in a year.
Les Dogues may have to accede to Yoro’s demands and allow him to join Madrid at a reduced cost, as they cannot afford to lose a multi-million pound asset for free after a year.
