🚨 BREAKING: Leny Yoro flying to UK to take medical and finalise personal terms as Manchester United push to complete the deal. @David_Ornstein pic.twitter.com/Q5xJyoWMKG— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 17, 2024 We stuck with Vallejo omg
It looks like we didn't want him enough and / or had our limits from a transfer fee perspective. Oh well, you can't have them all. Our CB situation is looking very precarious now (if we fail to sign anyone). I don't think we can definitively say that Militao is in optimal condition, and Alaba's ACL recovery will be long and complicated. With that in mind, I can see Tchouameni starting at CB a lot next season with Cama playing as a DM.
United turned to a new tactic: pounce on a player that Madrid wants. Certainly better than their own judgement.
We had our limits to the transfer fee but also to the player salary, Man United definitely have offered more on both fronts, but Yoro is of course free to prioritise the short term gain as he sees fit. It’s disappointing though because it seemed all of the top European clubs wanted this kid and we definitely need a young talented CB, it’s the perfect time to bring someone like Yoro in. If he’s travelling to Manchester then it’s probably all done through.
🚨 JUST IN: Real Madrid will go into the market for a CB! @OndaCero_es pic.twitter.com/9VULXj91iV— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 17, 2024 What about Caliofiori?
If it's gone so far and we still didn't improve our bid then there is obviously something we are not seeing. We pay premium when its warranted, we have done it plenty of times but also willing to walk away when the deal isn't worth it. Or this could be Mendes playing his last card. One thing is for sure, we don't have many CBs left in the squad. Maybe Tchouaméni can move down permanently which would not go down well with him.
we need to do like Kounde who fled to england to sign in chelsea and in the end Barca offer the money that Sevilla wanted. we need to do something cause we will not find a CB in this price, so we probably will get Tcho and Vallejo.
United fired 250 people so they could throw the kitchen sink at Yoro. Oh well, can't have them all. The player wanted Madrid, but I would rather see how he does in a big team. Vallejo is about to start if something happens to Tchouameni/Rudiger. Fnck.
Tchouameni is not a CB. Reports were saying that the club is banking on Yoro's wish to only play for RM to make the deal happen. But, the club also offered Lille a substantially lower package than the asking price, there must be a reason for that. I hope the club sees the real need for a CB because Carlo isn't the type of manager that will push for it.
18 year old with 1 year on his contract who rejected all other bids. Makes sense to me. Certainly not paying 60M. A Jorge Mendes client goes to United, shocking!
🚨 Leny Yoro wanted Real Madrid who told him they will make it happen as soon as they can. This got delayed, he began having doubts whether it could happen this summer. @CANALPLUS_SPORT pic.twitter.com/eVL8bngedk— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 17, 2024
🚨JUST IN: Real Madrid have an alternative to Leny Yoro. @TheAthleticFC pic.twitter.com/WrDnynAygB— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 17, 2024
Are you guys sure this is over for Yoro? We might pull an Arda on them like we did against Barcelona lol It's over yet.....
I get not wanting to match that price, but we desperately need a centerback. I’m not on board with a plan that would depend on Tchouameni as the 3rd cb with a strong possibility he is forced to play there all season long
Disappointing we couldn’t lock it up, since all reports indicate he was our first option and target. Mendes factor may have played a part, but it looks like ManU just wanted the player more, Gotta add CB depth this summer,
Yeah, if we wanted him "enough" he would be signing with us. With that said, if he wanted us "enough", he could just wait out that last season or ignore pressure from Lille that wants more money.
