Real Madrid on Alert: PSG Attempts to Outmaneuver Spanish Giants for French Wonderkid

LOSC Lille’s Leny Yoro is on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar to strengthen their defense this summer. But PSG isn’t the only one eyeing him; Real Madrid is also in the race to secure the promising young talent from France, making the competition challenging for the Ligue 1 side.

The young center-back will soon have to consider his future, as his contract with Lille runs out in 2025. If he isn’t interested in renewing, Lille will have to consider selling him this summer.

On Friday, a video surfaced showing Yoro’s agent, Jorge Mendes, in Paris to meet with PSG representatives. So, there’s speculation about what client he was there to talk about. Nonetheless, SPORT reports (h/t Le10Sport) that Mendes went to discuss Yoro’s future. 

Mendes, known for his ties with PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos, has apparently received an offer from the Parisians, although the exact amount remains undisclosed. 

However, Yoro himself seems to have his sights set on Real Madrid. It’s said that a tentative agreement has been reached with the 18-year-old. 

Real Madrid, rumored to have put forward an offer of around €40 million, including bonuses, now needs to finalize terms with Lille OSC. As a result, PSG finds itself in a precarious position.
