Lille wonderkid Leny Yoro is continuing to attract transfer interest from some of Europe’s big names, but it seems his future is still open for the time being, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer news expert has admitted that Yoro finds Real Madrid a potentially fantastic destination as his future looks like one to watch this summer, but it could be that Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United will also still be there.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Romano discussed the latest on Yoro’s future, with the French centre-back impressing in Ligue 1 ahead of what will surely be a big move this summer.
Romano has previously noted that Man Utd have scouted the 18-year-old, while PSG tried to sign him in January and could come back in for him when the transfer window opens up again in the summer.

Discussing talk of Yoro leaning towards Real Madrid, Romano suggested it’s not quite as straightforward as that.
“Leny Yoro remains one to watch as one of the top young talents on the market for the summer, as I’ve previously mentioned. Manchester United are one of the clubs who’ve scouted him, and I expect PSG to return for him after targeting him in January,” Romano said.
“There’s been fresh speculation that Yoro himself is now leaning towards Real Madrid as his next destination, and while it’s true that Yoro considers Real Madrid as a fantastic destination, for sure, still no decision has been made or communicated yet.
“It will be crucial to understand how much Lille will ask for in the summer, with their president to decide that later. My understanding is that PSG are also still there and that the story remains open, but Real Madrid are there since October and will be there in the summer for sure.”
