Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro this summer.
Leny Yoro has established himself as one of the best young defenders in Europe, and Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are keen on signing him. According to The Athletic, the two Premier League clubs are now stepping up efforts to sign the 18-year-old. However, the report adds that Real Madrid are currently favourites to land the French defensive prodigy.
Yoro has the potential to develop into a top-class player, and he could develop into a key player for all three clubs. Real Madrid need to bring in defensive reinforcements, especially after their injury worries at the back last season.
Eder Militao and David Alaba had extensive injury problems last season. In addition, Nacho is closing in on joining Al-Ittihad in a Bosman move this summer. Signing a talented young defender like Yoro could prove to be a wise decision.
Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and they have the resources to sign the best players as well. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done, considering Leny Yoro wants to join them.
Liverpool and Manchester United need Yoro
Liverpool need to find a quality replacement for Joel Matip, who has left the club as a free agent. The Reds are lacking in depth in the defensive unit, and Yoro has emerged as a viable long-term target.
Similarly, Manchester United will have to replace Raphael Varane as well. They need a reliable partner for Lisandro Martinez next season. The 18-year-old is good enough to play for all three clubs, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. It is fair to assume that a move to Real Madrid will probably be more attractive for the player.
The Frenchman will want to win major trophies with them. Real Madrid have a proven track record of winning major trophies on a consistent basis. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool and Manchester United are big clubs as well, and they could be attractive destinations for the young defender, especially if they can promise him regular football.
