Invited before the media this Tuesday, Paulo Fonseca returned to the turbulent month of January for his young defender Leny Yoro.
Announced in the sights of the biggest European teams, starting with PSG who pushed hard during this winter transfer window to secure his services, in vain, Leny Yoro finally stayed in Lille. Northern leaders categorically opposed his departure in January.
During a press conference this Tuesday, Paulo Fonseca looked back on these last eventful days for his 18-year-old French defender. “Maybe it’s not easy for a young player, who gets to this moment very quickly. I spoke with the player, I think the main thing is that he stays focused on what he has to do this season”indicated the coach of the Mastiffs.
And Fonseca gives advice to his young player: “He must continue to be balanced and humble, that’s the main thing. He is, I think. He’s still playing well. In the end, we’ll see. If he wants to have the opportunity to play at another level, he must continue like this, doing things well. » As a reminder, Yoro, represented by Jorge Mendes, is under contract with Lille until June 2025.
