PSG accelerates pursuit of Real Madrid target

This summer, PSG aims to strengthen its central defense by acquiring Leny Yoro (18 years old). However, they will face competition from Real Madrid.

With Lucas Hernandez's severe injury sidelining him for several more months, questions about Presnel Kimpembe's form after a year out, and doubts about Milan Skriniar's ability to deliver, PSG is reportedly in the market for a new central defender for the summer transfer window.

For several months, the capital club has been interested in Leny Yoro (18 years old). Performing well with Lille, he could have joined PSG last winter, but his club did not want to let him go mid-season. This summer, things might change.

According to RMC Sport, Lille might be ready to sell their young prodigy, whose contract ends in a year and who has refused to extend his stay in the North.

The sports media indicates that "his contract provided for an additional year if both parties agreed. Lille proposed a salary increase, but Yoro declined."

Although Olivier Letang, the president of LOSC, recently mentioned a fee of 100 million euros to release his player, RMC Sport suggests this amount is unrealistic with only a year left on his contract.

This deal could be concluded around 60 million euros, according to Fabrice Hawkins. "Discussions are ongoing between Paris and Lille's owners. The capital club believes in its chances."

In this case, PSG will have to contend with competition from Real Madrid and Liverpool. While the English club is closely following this situation, the Spanish team is not prepared to overpay for Leny Yoro, concludes RMC Sport.
