Leny Yoro, a talented 18-year-old French defender from Lille, is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, according to CaughtOffside individuals with knowledge of the player’s circumstances.
The need for a central defender has always been a top priority for the Red Devils as a summer transfer possibility, and it is now even more critical as they look to replace the departing French defender Raphael Varane.
Europe is in demand for Leny Yoro
In the event that United is unable to sign Yoro, other players on its roster include Odilon Kossounou of Bayer Leverkusen, Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, Tosin Adarabioyo of Fulham, and Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth.
Leny Yoro is undoubtedly one of the names that Mikel Arteta values when it comes to defenders for Arsenal. The Spaniard is also looking to sign one.
The Reds will definitely need a quality exponent given the news that broke on Friday that Joel Matip will be leaving the team after the last game of the 2023–24 season and the uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s future.
According to CaughtOffside sources, clubs from the Saudi Pro League and Europe are still interested in van Djik and Matip.
All of the Premier League clubs who are currently watching Yoro appear to be waiting to find if the player is interested in joining PSG or Real Madrid in the first place, before making a bid for the his services.
This is due to the fact that PSG and Real Madrid have been keeping tabs on the French defender’s circumstances for some time, and they plan to speak with Lille once more during the summer transfer window.
Lille is said to be open to offers of €45–€50 million for the Frenchman, but considering how highly sought after he is, the asking price may rise significantly.
