AC Milan could attempt to sign 20-year-old Leny Yoro from Manchester United late in the transfer window, as the club is looking to add a central defender. Milan appreciates the French player's profile, and their coach, Rúben Amorim, is familiar with his potential from having worked with him at Manchester United. The English club may be open to a significant proposal for Yoro, who has an approximate valuation of 50 million euros. The defender joined Manchester United in July 2024, has a contract until 2029, and has made 10 appearances for the France U21 team.

Currently, there are no negotiations between AC Milan and Manchester United for the defender. The situation is one to monitor and is not considered an advanced transfer. Agent Jorge Mendes has been significantly involved in several of Milan's operations this summer and could potentially act as an intermediary if the club decides to pursue its interest more actively. The Italian side is also considering other defensive targets, and Gonçalo Inácio remains a highly regarded option.
