The ongoing commitment of LOSC Lille starlet Leny Yoro to secure for himself a move to Real Madrid this summer has on Monday been reiterated.

This comes amid widespread confirmation that Real are closing on a deal to bring the defender to Spain’s capital.

As per a report from Marca:

‘The dialogue between the leaders of the white club and those of Lille has intensified and there is optimism that an agreement will be found.’

As much comes with the Ligue 1 outfit having finally agreed to lower their demands, to a sum in the region of €40 million, plus bonuses.

Yoro, for his part, has long made his desire to link up with Carlo Ancelotti’s star-studded squad crystal clear, with recent contacts on the part of both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea having been firmly rebuffed by the stopper.

And a similar message, just last week, is understood to have been sent the way of Manchester United, too.

As detailed by Marca’s José Félix Díaz, upon receiving word of the Red Devils’ renewed interest, Yoro informed his representatives to forward the following simple response to the Old Trafford brass:

“I’m sorry, but I want to play for Real Madrid.”
