Real Madrid have Leny Yoro of Lille on their radar, according to . The report has noted that Madrid are looking at centre-backs to potentially sign in the January transfer window, and one of the players who has impressed the recruitment team is Yoro.
Madrid are now short in the centre-back position. David Alaba suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Villarreal last weekend. Antonio Rudiger and Nacho are now the two recognised centre-backs for Los Blancos. Aurelien Tchouameni is being trained to play as a central defender despite being a defensive midfielder by trade.
Yoro has been on the books of Lille since 2017 and is now part of the first team. The France Under-21 international centre-back is just 18 years of age and has a bright future ahead of him. Yoro has made 14 starts and one substitute appearance in Ligue 1 for Lille so far this season. He has scored two goals in those games. The teenager has also played three UEFA Europa Conference League matches forthe French club.
