Latest Manchester United transfer news as MEN Sport looks at the impact a move for Leny Yoro could have on a pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite
A fee thought to be around between £51 million and £59m has been accepted by Ligue 1 club Lille, where the youngster has been learning his trade.
The Blues are likely to reject any new offer once again, as they see past transfers of defenders Harry Maguire, Wesley Fofana, and Josko Gvardiol as the benchmark for the player's value. He left Merseyside as a young prospect and returned as a fully-fledged top-level defender. Early in the 2023-24 season, he started against Wolverhampton Wanderers and never looked back, appearing 33 times in the Premier League and forming a formidable partnership with James Tarkowski in Sean Dyche’s side.
As far as United supporters will be concerned, the Yoro deal looks like a front-runner almost ruling out the prospect of Branthwaite arriving at Old Trafford this summer, at least for now. A move for Branthwaite could yet go through if Yoro chooses Real Madrid, with the Lille defender set to decide on his next destination.
