There are very few teams in the world of football that can match the pull that Real Madrid has in the sport. It is a task that no athlete would want to pass up, and Leny Yoro is not an exception. The sheer weight of the Merengues’ shirt is a particular obstacle.
Los Blancos’ principal objective in order to strengthen their defense in preparation for the next season is to acquire the French center back. However, since Kylian Mbappe and Alphonso Davies are already on the roster, they are unable to spend as much money as they would have wanted to.
It is a firm player.
The teenage defender is reportedly confident about his future, as stated by sources from the MARCA. The only club that he would want to play for is Real Madrid, and he has made it clear to the Lille management that he is interested in playing for them.
A significant amount of pressure is being put on the player to extend his contract with the French club, which is set to expire in June of 2025. On the other hand, he is delaying negotiations in the expectation that his club would give in to the pressure and put him up for sale.
Lille has a right to ask for one hundred million euros for the sensational 18-year-old player, considering the lofty ceiling he has set for himself. When everything is said and done, parties such as Chelsea are ready to pay an exorbitant amount for his incorporation.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is certain that they would not spend more than thirty to forty million euros for one of their players. Los Blancos had high hopes of following in the footsteps of Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Jude Bellingham, despite the significant disparity that exists between their team’s asking price and Lille’s actual asking price.
Jorge Mendes has arrived.
In light of the challenging circumstances he is now facing at Lille and his desire to wear white, Yoro has trusted Jorge Mendes, his manager, with the responsibility of handling everything pertaining to his agency.
Despite the fact that Real Madrid and the Portuguese agency have not had the greatest of relationships in recent years, it is now widely acknowledged that both sides are working toward the establishment of a shared objective.
Despite the fact that Mendes is already in communication with Real Madrid, he does not want to let down Yoro, who is considered to be one of the most prodigal athletes under his management.
The Valdebebas are holding out hope that Lille would give in to the pressure and release their star for a price that is within their financial means. There is always the possibility of Real Madrid extending his contract, like they did with Kylian Mbappe, in the event that this does not occur.
