Real Madrid consider severing ties with super agent after Leny Yoro debacle

Real Madrid have been left frustrated by the end of the Leny Yoro saga. The club’s bosses expected the young centre-back to be signed on their terms, but he officially joined Manchester United earlier this week.

According to Sport, Real Madrid officials believe that much of the blame lies with Yoro’s agent Jorge Mendes. They believe that the financial aspects of the contract offered by Manchester United worked in his favour.

It is not only this situation that has caused Real Madrid’s unease towards Mendes. He also represents Andriy Lunin, who is reluctant to extend his contract. Given that his current contract ends in 2025, the Whites have now made the decision to put the goalkeeper on the transfer market.

Additionally, Mendes also has Paulo Iago in his agency, and the teenager has been pushing to leave Real Madrid since the start of 2024. He is reportedly close to joining Sporting CP.

If both Lunin and Iago leave, it would end the relationship between Real Madrid and Mendes, at least as far as the club’s notable players represented by the Portuguese are concerned. Coincidentally, he has a much better relationship with Los Blancos’ El Clasico rivals, Barcelona.
