LOSC Lille’s Leny Yoro will be a highly sought-after player this summer, with his contract expiring in 2025. As a result, if he doesn’t sign a contract extension, the French side must sell.
Paris Saint-Germain is lining up for the 18-year-old defender, but the capital club needs to beat out two other European giants. Loïc Tanzi from L’Equipe reports that PSG still targets Yoro. However, there is competition with Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Nonetheless, PSG might have an inside track to land Yoro. The Frenchman’s agent, Jorge Mendes, seems a little closer to the capital club than to the other two at the moment.

A recent update from SPORT indicates that Real Madrid is taking a patient approach. The Spanish club acknowledges the lack of progress in negotiations with PSG and recognizes the absence of other contenders in the market.
The focus now shifts to the extent of their negotiations with Yoro’s representatives and their financial requirements. It will be interesting to see if the Parisians can beat out the competition for one of France’s brightest talents.
