Real Madrid’s choice and Liverpool’s interest led to the “agreement” on Leny Yoro’s transfer.

Amidst transfer interest from Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and PSG, Leny Yoro is said to have decided on his next move, and the Lille player has committed.

It appears crucial that Liverpool signs a replacement this summer because Joel Matip is departing the team at the end of his contract. In Arne Slot’s first season in charge, the Anfield side cannot leave itself short of options at the back.

Although Leny Yoro was a target, Sports Zone reports that the 18-year-old has decided to sign with Real Madrid this summer despite interest from Premier League powerhouses Liverpool and Manchester United. The gifted wonderkid has also caught the attention of PSG, even though he would rather move to Spain.

Yoro has reportedly told the Spanish team that he won’t be signing with anyone else, but he would want to join Los Blancos this summer. Liverpool is reportedly eager to sign him, but they are also aware of Real Madrid’s intense interest.

It had been claimed that Liverpool may leap in and pounce if a trade to Real Madrid stagnated. But even if the La Liga champion can’t negotiate a fee to sign him now, it is said that he will wait a year and transfer on a free when his contract with Lille expires next summer.

The Daily Express said last week that Yoro had already decided to sign with Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the president of Lille has already acknowledged that the player will be let to depart.

Lille is seeking $53 million (£42 million/€50 million), but the Spanish team is willing to make a concession on that sum. The player chose Real Madrid, but Liverpool was willing to pay the asking fee, according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo.

According to Liverpool.com. You really can’t blame Yoro if he decides to move to Real Madrid. Similar to Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, the Reds would recognise the right player but be unable to take action since they would rather move to the Bernabeu.

Liverpool definitely has to sign a replacement, though, if that turns out to be the case. Ibrahima Konate is prone to injuries, and Joe Gomez played full-back for the majority of the previous campaign. This summer, Virgil van Dijk will turn 33. Jarell Quansah is incredibly gifted, but he is still very young and should be handled cautiously rather than overused.

There’ll be even more fixtures than usual because the Champions League has been enlarged in advance of the new season. Liverpool just cannot afford to cut any corners.
