Leny Yoro, the defender from Lille, has attracted attention from across Europe’s football elite, with Real Madrid inquiring about his availability.
While Leny Yoro was heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain this winter, Lille firmly shut the door on any potential move, as confirmed by club president Olivier Létang.
Paris was not the only club interested, as both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also entered negotiations. “Big clubs contacted us, very big clubs, with whom I had discussions, and the positions were clear. There were never any proposals or amounts mentioned from our side because we knew he would stay until the end of this season,” revealed Lille president Olivier Létang in a press conference last weekend.
However, according to Marca, the Spanish club was deterred by the price demanded by LOSC. The asking price was set at €60 million, a figure deemed too steep even for the mighty Real Madrid, despite their urgent need for defensive reinforcement.
