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.

Yoro moving to Bernabeu would not be shocking as not many teams would fancy their chances of competing against Real Madrid for a player and emerging victorious.
