Report from the guy who first mentioned us having a bid accepted by Lille is saying that Yoro is currently discussing personal terms with us.
Fingers crossed it's true, thought I'd share for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Fingers and toes crossed Caolan_2.

Still think he’ll join Madrid but would be an amazing statement signing if he does join us.
Generational talent - reminds me of a young Varane.
(And no MdL if Yoro arrives - can’t look past injury concerns, despite him being a formidable player)

Why would signing Yoro affect MdL, if we've been bidding on 3?
16 Jul 2024 16:05:08
They’re hedging their bets on either MdL or Yoro. Be one or the other (both would expect to be first choice alongside Martinez and not be back up)
Apparently they’re waiting on Yoro’s answer; if that falls through, they’ll go for MdL.

Lille will be pushing hard to get this through also.
I hope they will sign 2 of jb mdl and yoro.
There is no way we should be going into the season with maguire as 3rd choice behind an 18 yo unproven player and martinez given his injury record. So assuming lindelof leaves we need at least 2 in at cb imo. That will allow yoro time to develop and mature physically.
The 2nd looks likely to be mdl or jb. In an ideal world full of pixies and fairy's we sign all 3 and maguire moves on.

I wouldn’t bet against us going for DeLigt even if Yoro chooses to come. Great depth plus we could go 3 at the back or Martinez could be played slightly further forward.
Yoro and DeLigt for the same money as Maguire ?.

The last time we signed a French teenager for this kind of fee we got stuck with Martial. Let’s hope Yoro proves to be a better signing.
I can’t say I know too much about him, but his desire to move to Madrid worries me a little, especially when we have two other talented CBs for whom we are the preferred choice. I’m all for building a young team for the future, but not if those young players plan on leaving us once they start to hit their prime.

Call me cynical, but Yoro wants to join Madrid and is pushing out stories saying he might sign for United to hurry them along with a bid.

Like a smoke screen, Grim? ?♂️.

Ornstein reporting he’s on a flight to UK for medical.
17 Jul 2024 10:24:23
Latest reports are he is flying to the UK to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms.

Madrid are for putting a new bid in apparently. He’ll end up there, get the feeling all the noise today was to speed them up and give them a prod to get moving. It’s clearly worked.
