As the winter transfer window enters its final phase, PSG is looking to strengthen certain sectors of play, notably midfield and central defense. With this in mind, the Parisian club would have made Leny Yoro, a young 18-year-old Lille gem, a priority.
However, LOSC is inflexible regarding the departure of its talented defender this winter. Questioned by Le Parisien, Lille president Olivier Létang could not have been clearer: “He will not leave in January, so there are no negotiations, no discussions contrary to what some suggest”.

However, PSG is not the only one to court Leny Yoro. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atlético, Manchester United, Chelsea and Dortmund have also made contact with Lille in recent weeks. But the northern club does not seem willing to let go of its 18-year-old jewel under contract until 2025.
A refusal which does not risk discouraging PSG, wishing to strengthen its squad as quickly as possible. However, the Lille management is showing itself to be intractable, only an exceptional financial offer could make it give in according to Le Parisien.
