L’Équipe are reporting that Leny Yoro (18) will not leave Lille OSC this January, despite interest from some of Europe’s elite clubs, including Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain.
Yoro has consolidated his place, not only in Lille’s first team this season but also in the France U21 squad. He has just 26 Ligue 1 appearances to his name, but in that time, he has convinced some of Europe’s top clubs that he is one of the most promising central defenders of his generation.
Yoro valued between €40-50m
As reported by Foot Mercato, PSG are looking to pip the competition to Yoro’s signature. However, as reported by L’Équipe, a move will not occur this January. Les Parisiens’ interest dates back to last summer and Luis Campos is a big fan of Yoro, but the player himself is keen to see out the current season with Les Dogues.
Yoro, who is also attracting interest from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and some of the Premier League’s top sides, is yet to make a decision on his future. Lille, who are closed to the idea of a January departure, like the player himself, would be open to selling Yoro for between €40-50m in the summer.
