After reports yesterday of the bid made for neves today the reports are saying we've made an offer for Leny Yoro not said if accepted or declined and report is from the Madrid journo who is quite reliable so maybe Madrid putting it out so their fans don't wonder why he potentially signs for us.

Dare say we’re being used as a pawn by his agent to get Madrid to hurry up.

Utd still serially underbidding for players? Understand not going in with your final offer first thing and underbidding as a negotiation tactic etc, but at what point does a bid become derisory.

Underbidding? None of us know the fact's, so can only go on rumour.
It is reported that Lille value Yoro at approx 60m euros and we have reportedly offered 60m euros!
That does not seem anything other than a very fair offer to me, indeed more than you would expect from a first offer, and if true show's the seriousness of our interest. Supposedly, Madrid are only prepared to pay 40m euros.
If any of the foregoing is true it would suggest a very different approach from the previous regime.
{Ed002's Note - Lille are not selling Yoro for €60M.}

Fuser, we’re also likely to have a poster complaining about paying over the odds in the same thread. A player is only worth what a club is willing to pay for him.
We’re also going to hear “smoke screen” and “exactly what we need” multiple times a day until the window shuts.
Roll on 1st September.

I have not seen any reputable source reporting we have bid on yoro.
Bit like the other lad I think we did put in a bid for, Neves. Another teenager.
I've not seen yoro play ever I'm not sure many have, neves I've seen glimpses. Eye-watering fees for unproven potential and a squad on its knees.
Sep 1st can't come quick enough I agree.

Yoro going to do an Mbappe to move to Real. No point getting involved.

Grim it's a possibility.
I'd like to think if lille developed him from a kid that he would sign a new contract with a reasonable release clause that Madrid can trigger next year so the club get much needed fee even if its not their valuation. At his age the riches will come if he is staring for Madrid so I know my thoughts are slightly idealistic loyalty to his club must count for something.

IWOTB not just Yoro (Lille want nearer to €100m but will likely settle around 80) but I meant with Neves too (bidding half what Benfica values him at) . Utd have always underbid massively and then ended up overpaying in the end. Thought it might have changed with the new structure. Utd bid £51m initially for Anthony and ended up paying £85m.

I’d rather have Silva for that money! Plus get Neves and Inacio too while in Lisbon.
