Leny Yoro, one year later, knocks on Real Madrid's door: 'I'm very sorry.'

Among all the objectives Real Madrid had last season, one of the most prominent was Leny Yoro. The young French center-back, who at that time belonged to Lille, was destined to be the new reference in the merengue defense. However, through a million-dollar offer, Manchester United managed to steal this signing from Real Madrid.

A move from which, just one season later, Leny Yoro himself has shown deep regret. Asking his agent to help him join Real Madrid, Yoro has acknowledged his mistake of moving to the Premier League. Being part of a club that is in constant decline, Yoro seeks a radical change in his career.

If he leaves Manchester United, the English club would ask for at least the 60 million euros they paid for Yoro. An amount that Real Madrid would have to analyze carefully over the coming weeks to determine Leny Yoro's future.

Real Madrid's surprise

During his time at Lille, and at 18 years old, Leny Yoro was considered one of the great promises of French soccer. Standing out for his defensive solidity and aerial play, Yoro made it clear his need to make the leap to a more competitive team. A goal he failed to achieve by signing for a Manchester United that is anything but competitive.

For 62 million euros and a contract until 2029, Manchester United managed to convince Lille to release Yoro last summer. Although initially, Yoro was excited about the English project, reality quickly hit him.

Playing 1,913 minutes this season, Yoro's request to his agent to sign for Real Madrid shows his grave regret. Realizing that Real Madrid was a better option for many reasons, Yoro trusts he can fix his big mistake.

Yoro's future

With a market that is getting closer to starting, Real Madrid holds Leny Yoro's future in their hands. While the Frenchman remains a decent center-back, his arrival depends on the other operations Real Madrid seeks to set in motion.
