Lille defender Leny Yoro only wants to sign for Real Madrid in case of a transfer in 2024. The 18-year-old has long been rumoured as one of the top targets in central defence for Los Blancos, and talks are now getting underway between the two clubs.
Madrid need a new defender to replace the outgoing Nacho Fernandez, who was also their club captain this past season. And the prolific French youngster could be a brilliant addition to the squad.

Liverpool and PSG have been linked with the talented teenager over the past few weeks. But, they are far behind Madrid in the order of preference for the player. The only situation in which they can sign him is if the deal somehow collapses.
Leny Yoro is out of contract with his boyhood club in 2025, and he has informed the hierarchy that he will not sign a new deal at the club. As a result, Lille are in a tight situation and may have no other choice but to cash in on the player.
A potential fee worth €40 million plus add-ons has been rumoured for the defender. However, the details are yet to be finalised between the two parties.
