Always wanted to go to Real
United transfer blackmailed? Wild rumor about Yoro
A wild rumor has spread in Spain about Leny Yoro's transfer to Manchester United. According to the rumor, the 18-year-old was literally pressured into a move to England by his club OSC Lille. The Frenchman would allegedly have preferred to sign for Real Madrid.
Suddenly everything happened quickly: Manchester United stepped up the pace on Wednesday and reached an agreement with OSC Lille with an offer of around 70 million euros. Shortly afterwards, Yoro was given the green light and was soon on a plane to England, signing his contract with the Red Devils on Thursday.
However, as Marca now reports, not everything went smoothly during the transfer. Yoro allegedly did not want to go to England, but rather to Real Madrid. However, the "royals" only offered the French club a transfer fee of around 30 million euros.
Real made a mistake
The result: Lille allegedly urged Yoro to give up his Real dream and join the Red Devils. Otherwise, according to the "Marca" report, the club threatened to keep the defensive gem and not let him play for a year.
Madrid, on the other hand, were too sure that Yoro would only move to Real, if necessary on a free transfer next summer. The "royals" therefore ended up making a mistake.
