Lille Accepts PSG’s Offer, Leny Yoro on His Way
According to BVR Sport, Leny Yoro, the promising defender from LOSC, is set to join PSG. Speculation around this transfer has been intensifying for several days, despite interest from prestigious clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Negotiations for Leny Yoro’s move to PSG have intensified. The young French defender, who was initially close to joining Real Madrid, has reportedly rejected their offer. Sources indicate that he has decided to join PSG, making it his priority since early April. Current discussions between PSG and LOSC are focused on finalizing the transfer fee.
Interest from Other Clubs
Caught Offside reports that Manchester United is also very interested in Yoro, despite his contract with Lille running until 2025. The English club sees Yoro as a key target to strengthen their defense. However, Real Madrid’s initial interest seemed to dominate until Yoro decided to decline their offer in favor of a club that would guarantee him more playing time.
PSG and Lille Reach Agreement, Awaiting Signature
Back in February, sources claimed Yoro was close to signing with PSG. However, the situation evolved, and Manchester United emerged as a serious contender for his signature. The starting price set by LOSC is between 45 and 50 million euros, presenting an opportunity for the Red Devils as they look to bolster their defense.
A preliminary agreement has reportedly been reached between PSG and LOSC for a transfer fee of just over 50 million euros. LOSC president Olivier Létang is said to have been sidelined from the negotiations due to the club’s financial needs. Although Yoro initially expressed a preference for Madrid, PSG appears to have taken a decisive lead in securing his services for the next season.
The Leny Yoro transfer saga remains open, but PSG seems well-positioned to welcome the young Lille defender. The coming weeks will be crucial to finalize this transfer and determine whether Manchester United or other clubs can sway the player’s decision.
