Lille president Olivier Letang has confirmed that both Leny Yoro and Jonathan David can leave the club this summer amid interest from the Premier League and Europe. Despite Lille’s successful Champions League campaign, Letang has stated that contract situations will dictate their future at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Yoro, a teenage center-back who was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season for 2023-24, has attracted significant attention from top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain. The 18-year-old made 44 appearances in all competitions, scoring three times. With his impressive performance on the field, Yoro is being considered by many clubs as a valuable asset to have in their squad.
Jonathan David, the Canada international who finished as the runner-up to Kylian Mbappe as Ligue 1’s leading scorer last season, has also garnered significant interest. With 71 goals in 146 league appearances since his arrival in 2020, David is being considered by clubs like Napoli and Manchester United. He has previously been a transfer target for Chelsea, Spurs, and West Ham. David’s impressive form on the field makes him an attractive prospect for any club looking to strengthen their attacking line.
Both players have just 12 months remaining on their contracts at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Letang mentioned that both players have the ‘exit voucher’ and can seek moves to other clubs in the transfer window if they choose to do so. This news is sure to generate interest from potential suitors as they look to bolster their rosters for next season.
