Paris Saint-Germain will need to bolster their central defense this summer transfer window and the main target is likely LOSC Lille Leny Yoro. If one report is accurate, the capital club will land the 18-year-old standout.

Yoro has just one year left on his contract, and if he opts not to extend, the club will need to sell him this summer. As a result, it seems as though they’re likely to secure a transfer fee rather than risk him leaving as a free agent.

Along with PSG, Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly in the mix, but it seems the Parisians will have won this race. Sports Zone reports that there’s an agreement in principle between PSG and LOSC for Yoro for a little over €50 million. 

Moreover, the information reveals that Lille’s president, Olivier Létang, was removed from discussions because the French club need funds despite having a chance to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. 

While PSG appears to have won the race for Yoro, the player still gives his preference to Madrid, who have been very convincing since January.
