According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain is planning to begin negotiations with Lille OSC this week in order to acquire the services of Leny Yoro, a young defender. This development may be seen as a transfer blow for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is among the major teams in Europe that have taken notice of the 18-year-old player, who is having a good debut season in France and has managed to attract the interest of elite clubs around Europe.
After doing extensive scouting on Yoro on many occasions, the Merengues have identified him as a potential target for the summer transfer window. They are searching for a young center defender who has the potential to become a staple within the club in the future.
The PSG is prepared to begin negotiations.
According to the information provided by Santo Aouna of Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain is planning to initiate negotiations with Lille this week in an effort to strike a deal on Leny Yoro.
It was stated the previous week that the Parisian giants are anxious to recruit the young center-back within the current transfer window itself rather than waiting until the summer to do so.
Luis Campos, the sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, is exerting a great lot of effort to secure the transaction. The plan is for the club to meet with Lille this week in an effort to explore the possibility of reaching a compromise, since Lille is not ready to allow the young player to leave the club.
As of this month, Paris Saint-Germain are keen to have Yoro as a member of their team, and they seem to be willing to go the additional mile to make the transfer happen.
This new information would be a significant setback for Real Madrid, who have been keeping an eye on Yoro for some time now but had intended to hold off on making a bid until the summer since they were planned to wait until then.
There are other players, such as Goncalo Inacio and Antonio Silva, who the Merengues have lined up as potential targets in the event that Yoro leaves their clutches.
