Transfer boost for Liverpool, Man Utd & Real Madrid! Why PSG are struggling in the race to sign Lille wonderkid Leny Yoro - explained

The Parisian giants believe they are losing the race to sign the defender who is making waves at Lille at just 18-years-old, <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Le-psg-face-a-la-concurrence-pour-le-lillois-leny-yoro/1469574" target="_blank">as per L'Equipe</a>. Given Yoro's contract expires at the end of next season, Lille may feel compelled to cash in on their prized possession and spark a mass bidding war among Europe's elite.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The key reason for PSG's pessimism lies in Yoro's dream of playing for Real Madrid. According to the report, the defender can 'see himself' playing in the white of Madrid and following in the footsteps of Raphael Varane in moving to the Bernabeu at 18 years old and winning four Champions League titles. Meanwhile, Lille are unlikely to want to sell to a Ligue 1 rival.

THE EXPLANATION

Yoro made 32 appearances for Lille in Ligue 1 last season and has established himself as a mainstay in Paulo Fonseca's side. The French defender was born in the suburbs of Paris before moving to Lille at six years old. He was spotted by the club and joined their academy in 2017, aged 12. Since then, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leny-yoro-europes-best-sign-lille-new-william-saliba/blt87598d5c933102c5#csd24ada58ec1ffc57" target="_blank">he has gone from strength to strength</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lille will have to decide on their young defender's future should Yoro not extend his contract at the club. If the defender chooses not to sign a new deal, they may well look to sell the wonderkid. Yoro will then decide whether he wishes to emulate Varane at Madrid or be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/virgil-van-dijk-successor-liverpool-join-real-madrid-psg-transfer-pursuit-lille-star-leny-yoro/blt7fea6b287b8a6c08" target="_blank">the successor to Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool.</a>
