Liverpool are linked with Leny Yoro

Liverpool has been pressuring to sign the defender before the summer since they are interested in Leny Yoro. The 18-year-old is highly sought after, and Real Madrid and Manchester United are two teams keen to sign him away from LOSC Lille. Liverpool is looking to add a defender to their lineup.

The team is eager to have a top-tier successor for Joel Matip, who is expected to depart. The team will also consider the future when making new acquisitions under their new football operations model and under new manager Arne Slot, therefore they probably will go for a young player who has long-term potential for the team. For Lille this season he has made 32 league appearance this season in the French top flight competition. As he approaches the last year of his contract, the 18-year-old appears certain to depart Lille this summer.
