Manchester City Have Made Contact To Sign This Ligue 1 Starlet: Should Pep Move In For Him?

Manchester City have made contact to sign Lille starlet Leny Yoro as they hope to bolster their squad for the future.

In a recent report, Le 10 Sport mentioned that Manchester City have made contact to sign Lille starlet Leny Yoro. It has been stated that Pep Guardiola’s side could face competition from Manchester United in the race to land the French defender who will only be sold by the French club if they receive an ‘astronomical sum’ for the player.

Yoro is enjoying a solid campaign at Lille after he put in a series of dominant performances for them on the defensive third of the pitch. The 18-year-old has found the back of the net three times in 21 matches for the French outfit this season across multiple competitions.

The French prospect has been a rock at the back for his current employers as he is averaging 1.3 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 3.4 clearances per game in Ligue 1. He has even been excellent when distributing possession from inside his half based on his pass completion rate of 90.9% in the French first division 

oro’s current deal at Lille will expire in the summer of 2025 which could open the door for Man City to land him on the cheap at the end of this campaign.
