Manchester United leaders appear to be determined to jump into the race for Lille talent Leny Yoro. The defender has impressed with his performances in the French championship, and this has caused the teenager to attract the attention of many European clubs. In addition to United, it seems that Liverpool is closely monitoring the player, and in the future the possibility of a financial battle between the 2 English giants for Yoro's card is not excluded.
The 18-year-old has featured 32 times in all competitions for Lille this season, and is considered one of the best defenders in Ligue 1. According to English media reports, the French club will demand a minimum of €60 million for Yoro's services, given that interest in the talent is expected to be high. United are looking to bring the Frenchman to Old Trafford as he is seen as a long-term replacement for Raphael Varane, who could leave in the summer.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are watching the player with interest, as the Reds' management also see him as a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. The latter has rediscovered his best form at Anfield, but Liverpool leaders want to pre-empt his possible departure.
But in addition to interest from Premier League clubs, Leny Yoro has also attracted the attention of Real Madrid and PSG. The Spaniards are not expected to attack this summer market, as in all likelihood they will spend a large part of their budget to bring Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu. PSG meanwhile has the advantage of the championship, as the player knows Ligue 1 well and is familiar with football in France.
It remains to be seen which destination the player will choose, as at the moment, Yoro has not let his personal preferences be known.
