Le10Sport claims that Man Utd have already taken “concrete steps” to sign Yoro next summer to strengthen their defensive line. But Lille do not want to sell their star for cheap despite his current contract situation and want at least £60m.
However, the French outlet says that Liverpool have also shown a firm interest in signing the youngster and, along with the Merseyside club, city of manchester And PSG is also interested in acquiring the Frenchman. Man Utd will therefore face stiff competition from their rivals to secure any potential deal for Yoro.
Liverpool have also sought to strengthen their defensive line by signing a new centre-back. Joel Matip, who has been ruled out for the remainder of this season after suffering a serious knee problem, has entered the final six months of his current contract and could leave the club on a free transfer at the end of this season.
So if Matip leaves the club, Liverpool will need to sign a new defender to replace the African and Yoro could be a shrewd signing.
The Lille star is a highly talented player and has the potential to become a top defender in the future. Therefore, the 18-year-old would be a huge coup for Liverpool or Man Utd if either club finally manages to secure his signature.
