Real Madrid have been boosted in their pursuit of Lille star Leny Yoro, as the 18-year-old center back is reportedly not interested in a move to the Premier League. Despite his impressive performances at Lille, with his current contract expiring in 2025 and no progress on a renewal, the French club could look to sell him next month. While Lille are rumored to be asking for around €60m for Yoro, his contract situation could see that price reduced.
Reports suggest that a bid from an unnamed Premier League side has already been rejected, with Liverpool and Manchester United also keeping an eye on the teenager. However, Real Madrid has set their limit at €40m and is believed to be Yoro’s top choice, according to the Daily Express. His desire to move to Madrid could be a key factor in the transfer battle, as the allure of playing for the La Liga and UEFA Champions League holders may prove irresistible to him.
