Great news has been confirmed for Liverpool fans this morning.
Liverpool and Manchester United are closely monitoring the situation between Real Madrid and Lille over the potential transfer of Leny Yoro. According to Martyn Ziegler of The Times, these English clubs are ready to make a move if the deal with Real Madrid falls through.
Leny Yoro is an 18-year-old French center-back who has garnered interest from multiple top clubs, including PSG. His transfer value is estimated to be around £50 million. Ziegler highlights that Liverpool and Manchester United are keenly interested and are prepared to act swiftly if Real Madrid does not secure the deal.
Yoro, considered a generational talent, is currently under contract with Lille until 2025. However, Lille’s president, Olivier Letang, has given the green light for his transfer this summer, signaling that the club is ready to part ways with the young star for the right price.
Liverpool, in particular, is not just focused on Yoro. The club is also keeping an eye on other potential defensive signings, including Willian Pacho and Waldemar Anton. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known football journalist, has advised Liverpool fans to stay alert for updates on Yoro, hinting that this could be one of the most significant transfers of the summer market.
Liverpool’s need for a reliable center-back is pressing. The club aims to find someone with the consistency and durability of Virgil van Dijk, especially considering the injury issues faced by Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konaté. The addition of a dependable center-back like Yoro could significantly strengthen their defense for the upcoming seasons.
