Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has reportedly held talks with Lille defender Leny Yoro over a summer move to the French capital.
Following the departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, PSG are eager to strengthen their squad in all departments.
Lille defender Leny Yoro has now been identified as a player with a huge potential. Unsurprisingly, his impressive form for Lille has captured the attention of top clubs across Europe.
Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United have been linked with the 18-year-old but none are prepared to pay the Lille’s €60m asking price.
According to reports, PSG are the only side that have actually made a bid for Yoro, which was turned down in January.

Despite the disappointment, RMC (via Sport) has reported that manager Luis Enrique and Sporting Director Luis Campos have held fruitful talks with Yoro about his role in their project.
Though Real Madrid are still believed to be his priority, but it is not ruled out that he would accept an alternative offer should PSG reach a deal with Lille.
Yoro has proved himself in the French Ligue 1 with Kylian Mbappe reportedly feeling the young defender was his most difficult opponent last season.
All eyes are on PSG as they hope to secure Yoro signing and convince him to ignore the call of Real Madrid.
