New details of Man Utd's contract offer to Leny Yoro emerge that helped see off Real Madrid and Liverpool

An agreement between Lille and Manchester United was reached last week.

The details around Manchester United's contract offer to Leny Yoro, including his weekly wage, has emerged as they try and get a deal over the line.

Yoro has travelled to the UK to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms, just a week after United's offer of £52 million plus bonuses was accepted by Ligue 1 side Lille.

The 19-year-old defender, who was initially interested in a move to Real Madrid, has 'warmed to the idea' of joining Erik ten Hag's side, according to a report from The Athletic.

Having impressed at Lille last season, where he completed 1,727 passes in Ligue 1 – the most by a teenager across Europe's big-five leagues in 2023/24 – he is set to be handed an initial five-year deal at Old Trafford.

That's according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, who claims United have offered Yoro a salary of around €7 million [£5.8m] gross plus €2 million [£1.6m] in possible bonus payments per year.

If he does achieve those bonus payments then Yoro will bring home around £144,000 per week in wages.

It was said Real Madrid and Lille were 'progressing' in talks over a deal. In fact, there were suggestions that an agreement could be reached for a fee in the region of £33.8 million plus add-ons.

But on Wednesday morning, it emerged that the Frenchman is on his way to the UK to undergo a medical with United.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also provided some further details on Yoro's proposed move to United, mentioning Madrid's stance on the deal.

"Real have always been clear," he said. "€20/25m for Yoro this summer or join as free agent in 2025."

Romano also claims that United are waiting for the approval on contracts and documents from Yoro’s camp before undergoing medical tests.

The Premier League club have already booked a medical for Yoro in order to be 'fast and avoid any last minute surprise.'
