Leny Yoro, a defender for Lille, is reportedly on Paris Saint-Germain’sradarahead of teams like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
During this summer’s transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly in a strong position to sign Lille defender Leny Yoro.
With 44 appearances across all competitions, the 18-year-old was a key member of his French club’s 2023–24 squad, though his future is currently the subject of much speculation.
