Man Utd and Lille have reportedly agreed on a fee for the signing of French defender Leny Yoro, according to numerous reports.
The media has mentioned a different, considerably higher amount today.
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 fellow countrymen Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni at Real Madrid, where they are trying to replace Nacho.
It is reported that Manchester United is willing to sign not one, not two, but three centre backs during the summer transfer window in order to strengthen the defence, which allowed goals to be scored on a regular basis the previous season.
In addition to Leny Yoro, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite has been the focus of the Red Devils, who have already had two bids rejected for him.
Ten Hag also wishes to rejoin De Ligt, the previous captain, at United.
Who should Manchester United buy to bolster the defence before the upcoming Premier League season begins next month, in your opinion?
