LOSC Lille's rising star, Leny Yoro, has caught the attention of several top European clubs. Yet, Real Madrid seems poised to secure the teenage defender, leveraging their position as the likely destination.
Despite his young age, Yoro has already showcased his talent by playing in 44 matches during the 2023-24 season. This demonstrates that he's ready to take on a starting center-back role at a top European club, where the pressure to perform is intense.
With Yoro's contract expiring in 2025 and his desire to join Real Madrid, the Spanish side want to secure the teenager on favorable terms regarding the transfer fee.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid only want to pay Lille a EUR20 million fixed fee for Yoro. This news puts Lille in a challenging position, as a recent report from MARCA reveals that Liverpool, PSG, and even Manchester United are all prepared to pay the price that Les Dogues have set for the player, which is EUR40 million.

It will be interesting to see if Lille stands by its asking price or whether Real Madrid gets its way and secures Yoro at a discount this summer.
