Paris Saint-Germain has their eyes on LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro this summer. The Frenchman will be high on various clubs’ target lists to improve their defense.

Le10Sport recently revealed that PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos enjoys substantial backing from Jorge Mendes, who has integrated seamlessly into the Yoro clan by overseeing the player’s image management.

Nonetheless, the capital side does face competition, as Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool are keen on the youngster. However, Real Madrid is also interested in landing another quality young French player.

Todo Fichajes reported on Monday that club president Florentino Pérez considers him a suitable replacement for David Alaba after his knee injury. The veteran defender underwent successful surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Real Madrid is likely aiming to secure the player, hoping that Yoro can emulate Raphaël Varane’s path. Varane arrived as a young defender from RC Lens and enjoyed a prosperous spell with the La Liga club.
