According to information from Mundo Deportivo and the Spanish media AS, Real Madrid are on the verge of completing the recruitment of young Lille defender Leny Yoro (18 years old). Essential this season in the central hinge of the Mastiffs (alongside Alexsandro), the Bleuet would have expressed his desire to join Real Madrid, a decisive step towards an agreement. Although his contract with Lille expires in 2025, it seems unlikely that he will remain at the northern club this summer, especially if a big offer arises.
Reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that Real Madrid are prepared to pay around €60 million, including bonuses, to secure the services of the young talent.

However, this potential transaction could generate mixed reactions. While Real Madrid fans look favorably on strengthening their squad with a promising talent like Yoro, other parties might be less enthusiastic. Thierry Henry, the coach of the French Olympic team, could be particularly upset by this news, as the transfer of Yoro should deprive him of a key player to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (although his presence depends on his club, Real Madrid or other, Editor's note).
