Paris Saint-Germain reportedly have their eyes on LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro this summer. However, the capital club face tough competition for the Frenchman, as the teenager is one of the most prominent young defenders.
One of the top European clubs vying for the youngster is Real Madrid, who believe that they can beat the Parisians for the center-back. MARCA’s José Félix Díaz reports that Yoro has informed the Lille leaders that he wants to join Real Madrid.
Furthermore, the Spanish giants are convinced they can sign him for a price between €30 and €40 million. However, this price tag is below what the Ligue 1 side reportedly want for the defender.

A report last month revealed that Les Dogues aren’t willing to let the player leave for a fee of less than €60 million. As a result, interested clubs must come with heavy offers if they wish to land one of the top young defenders.
It will be interesting to see if PSG lose out on another French talent to Real Madrid, or perhaps the Parisians can convince Yoro to remain in Ligue 1.
