He is 18 years old and the elite of European football at his feet. Leny Yoro is one of the sensations of the Ligue 1 season, which he sees as an essential starter in the Lille defense. With remarkable statistics in duels and aerial play, the young player reveals himself to be both a promising and already effective element.
It was enough to panic Paris Saint-Germain, whose strategy, driven by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is to target the best young French players. For this, he can count on Luis Campos, his football advisor, who has made Yoro his priority in this winter transfer window, to strengthen a decimated Parisian defense (long-term absences of Skriniar, Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes).
PSG wants to move forward this week
According to our information, a meeting is planned this week between Parisian and Lille leaders to discuss this issue, and find common ground to complete a transfer. Between the minimum price desired by LOSC and the player’s desires for his short-term future, there are many things to discuss. Ideally, PSG would be delighted to rely on him as quickly as possible, and this is also the message that is sent to the player and those around him.
PSG wants to make room for him, so that he can continue his progress, even if it means cleaning up his squad a little next summer if necessary. This shows the importance already given to Leny Yoro, now represented by Jorge Mendes’ team, who is also pushing for a departure to PSG. The next few days will therefore be decisive.
