Leny Yoro, the 19-year-old French central defender who joined Manchester United last summer for €60 million from Lille, is reportedly regretting his decision and has instructed his agent, Jorge Mendes, to pursue a move to Real Madrid this summer. The defender, who was once heavily pursued by Real Madrid’s Florentino Perez and other club officials, now seeks a transfer to the Spanish giants.

However, the move faces significant obstacles. Manchester United is reluctant to sell Yoro so soon after acquiring him, and they are reportedly holding firm on their €60 million valuation. They are demanding at least the same amount they paid for the young defender.

While Real Madrid showed initial interest in Yoro, his inconsistent performances in the Premier League have led the club to reconsider their options. The Spanish club is no longer actively pursuing the Frenchman and is instead focusing on other potential defensive reinforcements.

Real Madrid’s priority remains the acquisition of Arsenal’s William Saliba, but with the English club’s reluctance to part with him due to his long-term contract, Madrid is exploring other alternatives to strengthen their defense.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Yoro’s move, Real Madrid remains confident that they will find the right central defender to enhance their squad for the upcoming season.
