Nico Williams. Please please please by all that is good take him before they do. We'll even let you keep Yoro in 5 years if you do

Said a fan of a club that signed Mudryk for £88.5m and gave him 8.5 years contract.
We already have Ethan Williams on the wing, getting another might make things too confusing. Best leave that one to Barcelona.
That'll only help Nico settle, since he plays with another Williams for Bilbao every week.
It's probably what I would have done.
The Spanish media salt is delicious. What a signing. Announce.
Ethan is not ready for first team action. Nico Williams could replace Rashford, and is way better than Olise.
Salty.
Should do our own Comunicado Oficial
Seems so. Real doesn't really need him at the moment. Doubt they would pay higher with the high value transfers recently. As you say, Real could potentially come for him 3 years later if he turns out as well as he is rated.
We've done some of the most ridiculous transfer business in the history of football in the last two years, yes I agree with that...
I still don't see why Utd would offer more than about £25-30m at the absolute max here, it's a punt on potential and you can get him free in July 2025... Maybe it's $50m or lots of add ons but a lower base fee, because that would make more sense. No way of knowing from him playing in Ligue 1 and only 18 if he's going to work out or not. If it's £50m / €59m would be in the top 20 transfer values in Ligue 1 history and the most expensive Defender (Benjamin Mendy currently has that accolade

I doubt it was as sinister as they're making out, but I'm sure Lille did imply they would look to develop someone else if he's going to turn down United to leave on a free next year. I'm sure Yoro probably understood that too.
I heard Lille took his parents hostage and threatened to kill his dog unless he signed for United.
We can’t get him for free in July 25, that’s why we have had to invest. We clearly think he will be/is a quality defender. Time will tell it it’s a good deal.We've done some of the most ridiculous transfer business in the history of football in the last two years, yes I agree with that...

Literally the opposite but ok Cafe
That's the thing. We can't get him for free in a year, because then he'd go to Real Madrid. He is a massive talent and Ligue 1 players often succeed in Premier League.We've done some of the most ridiculous transfer business in the history of football in the last two years, yes I agree with that...

Talking about us getting for free next year is so disingenuous and daft. We all know that wouldn't happen, he'd be off to Real. It's pointless to bring up.
Yes we are overpaying, yes no matter the potential, it is a gamble, but its a gamble worth taking, and a much more educated gamble than others we and other clubs have made for big money over the last few years.

I hope as a bonus for this move that Real sign Saliba next year or year after.

We had to make our bid NOTICEABLY more than Madrid’s for Lille to say “no way we’re accepting Madrids offer, sorry”.
There’s a small element of risk in there given age but (1) it’s calculated which is fine” and (2) clubs don’t pay these fees and end up paying ridiculous fees later in their career and fans say “why didn’t we buy them earlier?”
Maguire, Antony were silly fees.. Yoro isn’t, there’s a clear rationale behind it.

Any chance he takes part Saturday or to soon?
Fair play, good from United to do these types of deals instead of going for the 30+ players with long contracts. That was just bizarre.
Will he end up playing next to Martinez? Or you guys still signing another CB?

Pretty embarrassing you’re scared of Barcelona, or the Basque Rashford.
They have a pensioner version of Weghorst up top, you have Mbappe and Vini Jr.
If Real Madrid don’t dominate Spanish football for the remainder of the decade with Mbappe, Bellingham, Valverde, Rodrygo, Vini Jr, Guler and Camavinga, may as well shut shop down.
Sad.
They shoot tourists!
The claims he was forced to join us are deeply concerning, we really dont need another player on the books who doesnt want to be here.
Hearing rumours Lille told Yoro they’d bring him for a walk in the mountains like they did Jay if he didn’t go to United. No idea what that refers to but it sounds wholesome.
Can't believe how many feathers this signing has ruffled. Baffling. It feels great.
More Spanish tears...
Add in Endrick and Franco Mastantuono.
They'll try to turn Mainoo's head in a couple of years. Watch.
Alright Elon
Those claims are undoubtedly rubbish. He's an 18 year old who's going to make 7.5m a year and surrounded by plenty of advisors, not child labor employed in a Myanmar factory.
Even in the pomp of Real's three-peat CL and subsequent seasons they didn't dominate Spanish football domestically, so I'm not certain why it's such a given? Did Barca not win it four times between 15/16 and now? The same as Real.
Recent history should caution that Real winning the title is never a sure thing.
Well in regards to football news if there is one thing we can be sure of it is that the Spanish media provides impeccable, impartial and accurate reporting
Who are you again?
I heard he's in shackles in the basement of OT.
