The Whites were expecting the young centre-back to sign on their terms in the summer transfer window, but earlier this week he officially joined Manchester United. According to Sport, the Spanish club’s bosses believe that Yoro’s agent, Jorge Mendes, bears a significant share of the blame in the deal. They believe that the finances of Man United’s offer were particularly in his favour.
This situation is not the only one that has made Real Madrid uncomfortable with Mendes. It also represents Andriy Lunin, who is slow to sign a new contract. Given that his current contract ends in 2025, Los Blancos have made the decision to put the goalkeeper on the transfer market.
Mendes and Real Madrid at loggerheads
Furthermore, Mendes also has Paulo Iago in his agency, and the teenager has been pushing to leave Real Madrid since the beginning of 2024. He is reportedly close to joining Sporting CP.
If both Lunin and Iago leave, it will end the relationship between Real Madrid and Mendes, at least as far as the important players of the club represented by the Portuguese are concerned. Coincidentally, he has a much better relationship with FC Barcelona, the rivals of the Blancos in the Clasico.
