Manchester Clubs Make Bold Moves!

Manchester United Signs 18-Year-Old Defender Leny Yoro

Manchester United has officially announced the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille. The French defender has penned a contract with United until June 2029, with an option to extend for an additional year. Various media outlets report that United will pay €62 million upfront, with an additional €8 million in potential add-ons, €4 million of which are easily achievable. Yoro’s annual salary is set at €7 million before taxes, with €2 million in bonuses.

The 18-year-old Yoro, who came through Lille’s youth academy, made his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 16 in 2022 and has since made 46 appearances in the French top flight. His market value on Transfermarkt stands at €50 million. Prior to United’s swoop, Real Madrid was the leading contender to sign Yoro, but their bid of €20 million plus €10 million in add-ons was deemed too low by Lille. Now, it seems "Manchester's splurge" is back in full swing!

Manchester City Signs Brazilian Winger Savio

Manchester City has announced the signing of 20-year-old Brazilian winger Savio, with a contract running until 2029. According to Romano, the transfer fee is set at £21 million fixed, with potential add-ons bringing the total to £33.6 million (approximately €40 million). Last season, Savio was on loan at Girona from Troyes, where he made 41 appearances, scored 11 goals, and provided 10 assists, helping Girona qualify for the Champions League.

Greenwood Joins Marseille

Marseille has signed 22-year-old Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, who will wear the number 10 shirt next season. Manchester United will receive a fixed transfer fee of €26 million, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons. Additionally, United retains a 50% sell-on clause for Greenwood’s future transfers. Greenwood, a product of United's youth academy, made his Premier League debut at 17 and has scored 35 goals and provided 12 assists in 129 appearances for United's first team.

Juventus Signs 23-Year-Old Full-Back Cabal

Juventus has announced the signing of 23-year-old Verona full-back Juan Cabal. Reports indicate that Inter Milan was close to signing Cabal, but Juventus swooped in to secure the deal. Cabal, a Colombian left-back, made 22 appearances for Verona last season and became a key player in the latter half of the campaign. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €3.5 million. Do you think he will succeed at Juventus?

The transfer market is heating up with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Juventus making significant acquisitions. Young talents like Leny Yoro and Savio are poised to make an impact, while established players like Mason Greenwood and Juan Cabal are seeking fresh starts at new clubs. The football world eagerly awaits to see how these moves will shape the upcoming season.
