Leny Yoro, the improbable turnaround
Manchester United have overtaken Real Madrid in signing Leny Yoro this summer, in what remains the most expensive transfer of the summer if all the variables are met.

And one of the key factors was naturally the money involved.

Los Blancos thought they were in a safe place after convincing Yoro to join them, but they failed to reach an agreement with Lille when United arrived with an offer of €50m plus €10m in variables for Lille.

4 times the salary offered by Real

According to Marca, Yoro will earn 9 million euros per year as a base salary, almost four times the 2.5 million euros offered by Real Madrid.

Whenever a player chooses an offer other than Real Madrid, there is a tendency to portray him as a mercenary. It is entirely reasonable for a player to accept a much higher offer, but at United he has a good chance of starting this season. At the Santiago Bernabeu, he would probably have started as fourth choice in the Blancos hierarchy, behind David Alaba, Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger.
