Real Madrid Dealt Blow: PSG in Prime Position to Land French Rising Star After Latest Report

Originally posted on PSG Talk | Last updated 5/14/24

Paris Saint-Germain will be losing Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, but the Spanish side won’t be securing another Frenchman that the Ligue 1 side are coveting to land this summer.

The Parisians are injecting youth into their defense, and the process began with Lucas Beraldo’s arrival during the January transfer window. Moreover, the capital club are keen on adding another young central defender.

One of the rumored targets for PSG this summer is LOSC Lille Leny Yoro. The teenage defender has one more year on his contract and if he chooses not to renew, Les Dogues have to sell him this summer.

Nonetheless, one club he won’t be going to is Real Madrid. According to El Larguero, Yoro will not sign for Los Blancos in the summer transfer window. This opens the window for PSG to swoop in and land the young defender.

The information doesn’t reveal why Real Madrid are out of the race, which leaves everything up for speculation. Could it be the price that the La Liga team is willing to pay, or maybe PSG have convinced the player and his camp that the French capital is the ideal place to continue his growth? Nonetheless, this turn in the saga will be interesting to follow.
