Overview
- Multiple media reports that surfaced Thursday say AC Milan have placed 20-year-old Leny Yoro on a shortlist of defensive targets and that manager Ruben Amorim wants to reunite with the player.
- Those reports cite an expected price of roughly €40–€50 million for a move, though no formal bid or club confirmation has been published.
- Manchester United have used Yoro both at centre-back and as a makeshift right-back because of injury problems, and his error in United’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth has increased scrutiny of his role.
- Milan’s interest is linked to injuries to centre-backs such as Mattia Gabbia and Mario Gila and the club is said to be weighing several defensive options while Jorge Mendes is reported as a possible intermediary.
- Yoro joined United from Lille in summer 2024 for a reported initial fee near £52 million and his France call-up has raised his profile, leaving United to consider keeping him, loaning him, or selling him depending on their recruitment plans.
