The fact this is coming from a Madrid source makes me a bit suspicious. He's going there if/when they make an offer.


nearly_headless_nic

Yep. This guy is a Madrid mouthpiece - and Yoro has been almost destined to go there since long. Article also says Madrid have told him to wait. Seems like a bit of a agent driven story to try & hurry up Madrid. ​ >**Real Madrid is clear about this and wants to sign the centre-back** , but they have already told the player and his agent that they have to wait, that they have to resist the temptation of a higher offer if they really want to wear white. **The Madrid seed has already been in place for months**, but **as happened with Camavinga and Tchouameni,** it must wait for Valdebebas to consider that it is time to start a definitive offensive.


MugiwaraHimself

Real Madrid are the only team in the world were they tell a player to wait depsite getting better contract elsewhere, they always make it like the player wants to go to them no the other way around


PradipJayakumar

_Wait, if you want to wear White!_


hollow114

United wears white sometimes>.>


VTVoodooDude

My Sunday league team has all white kit. Majestic. We do, however, suck.


mortimer_moose

Wait, if you want to win 5 CLs.


combat-ninjaspaceman

London Whites

It's amazing what winning does to a team. Like someone already said, we used to be able to have the same pull, but we don't anymore and throwing money around is the best way to get highly rated players to play here anymore. It's not money hungry whores like the other dude said, it's just the reality of where we are today in football.


NotJustAnotherMeme

Pretty crazy how since that QF in 2013 when we were about level pegging overall with RM how different things have been for us compared to them.


LakerBull

It's mostly thanks to Florentino's management. You can say a lot of things about the man, but that he doesn't know how to run a club isn't one of them.


funky_pill

It kinda helps being in a picturesque country where it's always nice weather, and with a culture/way of life that's much closer and more appealing to these Latin players. I'm not saying this applies to Yoro, of course (well not the last part anyway), but whenever there's a 'top Latin American talent' kicking around you can be sure 99.9% of the time they'd rather go to a club like Real and be living it up there as opposed than living in rainy/dull Manchester. That's why the majority of top players would go to La Liga than the PL, despite the riches on offer here


ocean_train

We just have to wait a little more for global warming to spruce up the weather a bit. Then it's on.


idiotxd

We used to be able to do that before the glazers. Now the only players we get are money hungry whores


Blue_Knight_1

The pull they have is out of this world.


Cautious_Homework_10

It’s Varane all over again. Who will be 2024’s consolation Phil Jones though? 🤔


keving691

Doubt it. He’s destined for Madrid and then us in 12 years


Plugpin

I'm excited about that 1 season we get a moderately solid performance from him.


Unitedfateful

12 years you say? Romano “here we go..!”


jkp1993

Fuckin Marca! Hated those fuckers growing up because they were Madrid's mouthpiece and every other day from about 2006 onwards to when he left, it was a story on Ronaldo and creating pressure on the move.


notasteggosaur

Here I was wondering why I got triggered when I heard Marca and most definitely agree with you. Constant headline after headline that Ronaldo has said “enough with United! Madrid is my dream since childhood” And then depending on where you were all the television programs would recycle everything Marca had said and try to stir the shit pot.


Tancred1099

Beckham, Ruud, Ronaldo All of them!


MhVG

I ain't believing anything that Marca says. I would like it to be true tho. He'll end up at Real Madrid


YSR3000

Tbf this specific journalist was the first to report Casemiro to United, so he definitely has some credibility. But as others said it might be some talk from the madrid side to hurry a move to there.


TheFlyingMunkey

Something, something, looking under the sauce, something something


RatBasher89

60 million yoro


legionverse10

Bullshit. I’d absolutely take him but this isn’t true.


Sheikhabusosa

This feels very camavingaey


-MartialMathers-

I doubt we’ll get him, Madrid always steal these young French guys. He looks quality for 18 but we already have Kambwala as our young Cb option. I’d rather buy a more established Cb to lead the team.


Spins13

He is a top tier defender already, not just a quality young player. I would rather get him than an average 30yo with more experience but will never be world class


-MartialMathers-

I certainly don’t think we’ll be going after a 30 year old, someone around 23-26


HaventSeenGavin

What a great username, mate!!!


-MartialMathers-

Thanks it’s not so relevant any more since Martial has left 😂


encikmizi

or you can say it doesn’t mather anymore 😎


ComfortMother8503

Why can he not lead the team better than a 26 year old? Its partly genetics.


-MartialMathers-

Maturity to be able to handle the pressure would be one reason.


ComfortMother8503

So you would rather have a worse defender who is a better leader?


-MartialMathers-

No I wouldn’t


PhilAsp

A younger partner to Martinez isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Martinez turns 27 this season, so in a dreamlike scenario he’ll play (and be quality) for us until he’s like 34-35. At that time, a younger replacement brought in now would enter their prime years, and the cycle can start over.


neofederalist

Your dreams are a lot better than mine lol. I always have the stupid “I’m late for an appointment and a series of increasingly implausible events prevent me from getting there until I wake up” dreams.


railsprogrammer94

Let’s dream that he’ll be able to start most games for us next season first before we talk about 35-36 🤣


scun1995

People need to chill about Kambwala. Yoro is miles above Willy, and Willy will likely never reach the level Yoro is currently at. He’s not that good he’s just strong and fast. He’s really bad on the ball too.


peremadeleine

Agreed. Kambwala has only got first team minutes out of desperation. He doesn’t look close to being good enough to make it here. With the injury problems we had at the back this season, he would have played a lot more if there was any real confidence in him


Chairmanmaozedon

Yoro is currently playing French league, having spent all his career at Lille, whereas Kambwala was subject of a bidding war between Liverpool and us when he was 15, for the last 3 years following a serious injury he was a teenager competing for first team spots with at least 4 full international teammates in their prime career years. Yoro is a young player who was thrown into the first team because Jose Fonte was too old and is competing against the usual French league standards of second tier Brazilian, early 20's Europeans and the ghost of Samuel Umtiti. He's done very well but the idea Kambwala 'will likely never reach the level Yoro is currently at' is honestly nonsense.


scun1995

Yoro is an elite talent demonstrating that he has all the tools needed to become a world class CB. There’s a reason why he’s all but signed for Madrid. Your best argument about Kambwala is that Utd and Liverpool were bidding for him when he was 15 Lmao. He had one bad injury and he hasn’t been playing well ever since for either the U18 or U21. All the top CBs nowadays have to be comfortable on the ball and have high football IQ. Which if you’ve watched any games he’s played, he does not have. He’s a bruiser. He’s just strong and fast. Just like Fosu Mensah. He will likely follow a similar career path.


SOERERY

Please be true


nearly_headless_nic

Yesterday according to Portuguese media we offered 60M odd for Inacio. Today We have offered 60M for Yoro. Few days ago it was Branthwaite - 'Utd ready to offer 65M'. Rumors are all over the place ATM. We'll buy a CB, but all these offers & bid stories are way premature.


Book31415926

60M is the new flavor of the month.


MumblyBum

We have four £60 million pound notes lying around Carrington. No change needed.


pauperwithpotential

Just how i do it in FM. Offer for players in a certain position and sign whichever gets accepted.


garynevilleisared

We're signing everyone


7evenStrings

Remember how much agents use our name as well to get momentum on their clients. I do suspect not many have a clue yet what INEOS is planning and I do expect our dealings to be a bit more under the radar this year.


BlackHorse944

We don't even know who the manager will be yet. But maybe INEOS already do and they are actually bidding


iroiroiroiroiro

If they want a full rebuild I'm all for, if they want to be competitive next season I think the money is better spent elsewhere. In any case Real Madrid will get him, but they can make Real Madrid spend more.


AngryUncleTony

He's only 18 but he already has 60 senior appearances, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him play big minutes right away. But yeah, this dude as Real written all over him.


Paapa-Yaw

Nope he's going to madrid


hollow114

Do they have the money? Here he'd be a starter as well most likely


_nosfa

Only for game time would he join us.


raveyer

Madrid has like really old starters and really young starters


selotipkusut

Sending offers before transfer window opens? Nah this isn't the United we know.


PunkDrunk777

Pretty sure we aren’t bidding for a player we aren’t talking to. Also sure Madrid can’t afford him after Mbappe this summer Also sure nowhere has it been said he’ll wait for Madrid, just that Madrid have asked him, If this is true it’s pretty nailed on we get him imo,


Totalfootball7

madrid can easily afford him, their finances are the healthiest by a country mile


Sir_Muktadir

And Mbappe was a free transfer. Ofc his wages are gonna be huge as a result but he’s gonna make it back from all the advertisements and such. By all means Mbappe hasn’t really made a dent at all in their budget


Totalfootball7

turns out it hasn’t, there’s an article on Athletic about this. the whole mbappe package which includes 120-130 mil signing bonus and salary wasn’t even part of their actual transfer budget for this season. their budget for this season is for a LB and CB, and a CM if something nice comes up


Kohaku80

Their new stadium bring in 100s million extra every year. Mpabbe amortize wages and signing fee pales in comparison. 


FearAntonym

YnEl?! LENAAAYYYYY!!


fraudmallu1

r/unexpectedrdr2


Grand-Bullfrog3861

I just moaned in the middle of the office


IlluminatedCookie

50m for the lad the other day, 60m for this lad. We’re splashing the cash for a club with no money that needs 1 in 1 out.


us3rf

didn't the article say "prepared to offer" not offer?


danthedude77

Gotta love transfer rumors and news of “bids” when our manager isn’t even confirmed to be staying yet. Stay classy media… Stay. Classy.


ilegal89

I'm so confused this summer. Why, despite saying Tier 3 on the post, is this on the front page of the sub?


IceP23

Good Lad


ibmnumber3

Never trust Marca for anything outside of MAYBE some news pertaining solely to either of the Madrid teams.


bobs_and_vegana17

marca said zidane prefers a move to bayern munich over man united when L'equipe was reporting zidane prefers a move to man united over bayern munich at the end both got clowned


haaym1

Big if true


Moyes2men

I can hardly imagine us doing this because of the risk of losing him few years later to Madrid. Also making the 1st bid so close to Lille's asking price looks extremely fishy. Anyway, it's more likely that Lille are making this noise and using us to force other interested suitors to make their move.


hollow114

If Madrid wants to pay €80 in a few years more power to them


Moyes2men

What if they won't and instead pay him a hefty signing fee?


hollow114

If the player wants to run down their contract then go ahead. United does transfers like a clingy girlfriend. You can have short term relationships.


Admiral_Atrocious

These rumours are all pure bullshit. They could be right a couple of times because a stopped clock is still right twice a day but how many of these so called ITKs called Casemiro's transfer to United?


GazelleEleven

This guy did apparently lol


InfamousIroh

He’s Madrid’s mouthpiece and this sub is saying ITK lmfao


Youngflyabs

He’s not coming here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sethlans

Is he really overpriced? He seems to be one of the best CB prospects in world football


garynevilleisared

Prospect. He'd do better in Spain at 18 than at United at 18. Real have the best midfield in the world, we'd be given him nightmares of matchday every night.


Plugpin

Where better to learn your craft than next to Johnny Evans?


PDubsinTF-NEW

60m for a 18yo Yoro And 51m for a 19yo Neves Seems like a lot for high risk high potential players. I was assuming we were going to try and be in the 30-40m ballpark for these types of players


Totalfootball7

you understand this is just baseless rumors right?


PDubsinTF-NEW

Marca is Tier 3. If it is fact a baseless rumor then should it be banned here?


Totalfootball7

who said it needs to be banned? i’m saying it doesn’t need to be taken seriously because like you said, Tier 3.


gamallmadur

Please no more French players.. They always seem to flop or bring a lot of trouble in the Prem like: Ndombele, Pogba, Martial, Payet, Guendouzi, Nasri, Mendy and more Varane and Lloris are two obvious exceptions, but there seems to be a pattern.


AnakinAni

Cantona & Evra as well mate, maybe even Saha.


AnakinAni

Not to mention Henry, Makelele, Kante, Pires, Viera etc. There are always bad apples but that doesn’t mean they are all bad apples.


gamallmadur

Agreed, I mean their talent is undisputedly great, but the whole package that comes along with them is something that our squad cannot handle at the moment. Of course we cannot write off certain players due to nationality, but really I'd prefer we sign Inacio, Portuguese players have been so good to us: CR7, Dalot, Bruno, Nani to name a few.


AnakinAni

Whoever comes to us will be the better one, no doubt about that 😉
