Leny Yoro in demand as Man Utd and Liverpool join Real Madrid and PSG in pursuit of highly-rated Lille teenager

<p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5556308/2024/06/13/leny-yoro-man-utd-liverpool-transfer/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> reports the 18-year-old is one of the most 'coveted' players in Europe, with Liverpool, United, Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain keen on recruiting the centre-back. The 6ft 3in teenager, who played a key role in Lille having the joint third-best defensive record in Ligue 1 (34 goals conceded), is out of contract in 2025 and he is not expected to sign a new deal.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>One major stumbling block, however, is that Lille reportedly have an asking price of €100 million (£84m/$107.m) - despite the France Under-21 international having just over 12 months left on his deal. The Athletic adds a move to Los Blancos is the most likely option, with the Spanish side seeing him as a 'generational talent'.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lille president Oliver Letang confirmed on Wednesday that Yoro, as well as Canada striker Jonathan David, will be allowed to leave the club.</p><p>Fabrizio Romano relayed his comments, which read: “Leny Yoro and Jonathan David can leave the club this summer. Both have the ‘exit voucher’ due to their contract situation."</p><p>But it is unlikely Madrid will stump up £84m to recruit the youngster.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Lilly academy product Yoro, whose representatives are understood to have met with Madrid, is likely to be the subject of a bidding war this summer. Where he goes remains to be seen. </p>
