Real Madrid rejected by 60 million euros for the asking price for the top defensive goal, the move of 2024 is very unlikely

Real Madrid are ready to sign a new centre-back this summer to replace outgoing captain Nacho Fernandez, but they will only do so for the right price. Their main target is Leny Yoro, the 18-year-old Lille star who is already regarded as one of the best young central defenders in the world.

Blancos want to sign Yoro this summer, especially if he is available on a price deal (his contract at Lille ends in 2025). However, the Ligue 1 side are demanding €60 million for an immediate sale, as reported by Brand.

This asking price is well above what Real Madrid would be willing to pay this summer, especially given that Yoro could be available on a free in 2025. As such, they have abandoned the idea of ​​signing him for the time being .

If Yoro doesn't come this summer, Real Madrid are expected to have Rafa Marin as their fourth choice central defender for next season. The youngster had a good loan spell at Alaves, and is now seen ready to make the move to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
