Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is holding “positive” talks with Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain have just dropped their arms from the battle for Kylian Mbappe, but the two giants are ready to go head-to-head for another French star. Defender of Lille Leny Yoro it looks like he will leave the club this summer, but there is no certainty about his destination.

Real Madrid are thought to be their priority, and Los Blancos see him as a long-term star for them, but have drawn the line at €40 million for the cost of bringing him to the club. Lille is asking for 60 million euros, and Manchester United and Liverpool are apparently willing to spend big on the 18-year-old, and pay even more than Los Blancos to the player himself.

PSG are the only side to have made a bid for Yoro, which was rejected in January, but RMC (via Sport) say that manager Luis Enrique and Sporting Director Luis Campos have fruitful conversations with Yoro about his role in their project. Real Madrid is still believed to be his priority, but it is not excluded that he will accept an alternative offer if he reaches an agreement with Lille.

Yoro is considered the best of his generation at his age, and has all the attributes to become one of the best defenders in world football. Kylian Mbappe said Yoro was his most difficult opponent last season, and no doubt the France captain will look to play his part in bringing him to Spain if necessary.
