Real Madrid are reportedly ready to hit back at Manchester United, who beat them to Leny Yoro, by securing the signing of Matthijs de Ligt, who Erik ten Hag wants to sign.
United have shown in this transfer window that they can still battle with the world’s biggest sides. They initially beat the likes of Liverpool and AC Milan to the snare of Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.
Just days after, they managed to land 18-year-old Lille centre-back Yoro.
Liverpool were also interested, but it was Real Madrid who were most devastated by the United signing.
They were holding out for the transfer of the defender for some time, and thought because it was his dream to play there, they would be able to land him easily.
But after Real had expected to triumph for some time, United were able to offer him more game time, and Los Blancos were stunned.
