Lille's central defender, Leny Yoro, has expressed his desire to move to Real Madrid, as reported by MARCA. According to the source, the player has already informed the management of the French club about this.
It is reported that the club is ready to release the 18-year-old player for 100 million euros, but Yoro is confident that there will come a moment when Lille will agree to let him go for a lower amount, as was the case with Kamavinga and Rennes.
According to the source, the Madrid club plans to pay around 30-40 million euros for the French defender. Earlier, interest in Yoro was also mentioned from Chelsea.
Leny is a product of Lille's youth academy and has spent his entire career at the club. This season, he has played 33 matches and scored 3 goals. Yoro's current contract with the club is valid until June 2025, with an annual salary of 360,000 euros. According to Transfermarkt, his value is estimated at 25 million euros.
