PSG unlikely to secure Leny Yoro from Lille this month
By Manuel Meza
In the ongoing winter transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain's pursuit of 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro from Lille appears to have hit a roadblock, as reported by Fabrice Hawkins. Despite identifying Yoro as a top target for bolstering their defensive lineup, PSG might have to postpone their plans until the summer transfer window.
The urgency to strengthen their defense arises from injuries to key players like Milan Skriniar and Presnel Kimpembe. However, Yoro is expected to stay at Lille until the summer, leaving PSG with the challenge of finding alternatives. This setback doesn't mean the end of PSG's defensive recruitment efforts, as the club is still exploring options in the final days of the transfer window.

While Yoro seems elusive for now, PSG remains active in the market. The Ligue 1 leaders are known for their ambitious transfer strategies, and they might pull off a signing before the window closes. According to Hawkins, PSG is not ruling out the possibility of reinforcing their defense with a late signing.
One name that has surfaced in connection with PSG's defensive plans is Diego Llorente from Leeds United, although it remains uncertain if the Parisian club will secure any new arrivals at the Parc des Princes before the transfer deadline. As the competition for defensive talents intensifies, PSG will need to navigate the challenges of the transfer market to address their immediate needs and maintain their position at the top of Ligue 1.
