Real Madrid needs reinforcement in many areas. The position that need reinforcements most urgently is the centre-back position. Eder Militao and David Alaba have both sustained season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The extent of their recovery and potential career implications have still to be determined, since injuries of this size typically have long-lasting consequences.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy to mention that, with the exception of Militao, all other center-backs in Real Madrid’s squad are above the age of 30. Eventually, they will have to replenish their personnel in that specific region of the field.
Real Madrid have been associated with several very talented young players globally to address their need for a centre-back position. Leny Yoro, the talented young player from Lille, has been likened to Raphael Varane and is anticipated to command a transfer price over €70 million for his signature.
Although Yoro’s departure seems unavoidable at some stage, it will not occur in January. According to AS, Lille manager Paulo Fonseca stated:
“It can be challenging when a young player begins to garner attention from elite clubs.” However, he maintains composure and directs his attention onto our team. During this week, I engaged in a really enjoyable and meaningful dialogue with Leny. We discussed the problem. I expressed my opinion on the matter to him. He comprehended the need of being at this location and devoting his thoughts just to Lille.
The possibility of the €70 million Real Madrid target leaving has been dismissed.
Yoro, although being just 18 years old, is already a consistent first-choice player for Lille, playing in the central defense position. Currently, Fonseca’s team has the second-most impressive defensive statistics in Ligue 1.
Yoro is undeniably achieving the desired results and he seems to possess exceptional abilities. An individual of his caliber would be an ideal acquisition for Real Madrid, a club that has prioritized recruiting top-tier young talents from many countries and nurturing them into renowned figures at Santiago Bernabeu.
In recent years, Real Madrid has had considerable success in recruiting players from Ligue 1. Eduardo Camavinga transferred from Rennes to join their team, while Aurelien Tchouameni was formerly with AS Monaco before relocating to the Spanish city. Is Yoro a potential successor?
