The 40 million star for whom Manchester City fights with Manchester United

The winter transfer market has already officially started. There are several teams that want to incorporate the best players in the world, that is, reinforcements that can help them improve the course of the campaign and achieve their objectives. Now, the player for whom two England greats are competing is revealed.

Amid growing competition, Manchester United and Manchester City have reportedly entered talks with Lille to explore the possibility of acquiring promising teenage defender Leny Yoro. At 18 years old, Yoro has already stood out as a key player for the team led by Paulo Fonseca, registering three goals and one assist in 37 appearances with the first team.

Yoro's talent has especially shined in the 2023-24 season, where he contributed significantly to Lille's undefeated campaign in the group stage of the Conference League. With 15 starts in Ligue 1 and three in the Europa Conference League, the 6ft 3in defender has established himself as a dominant presence in the air, as well as representing the France Under-21 team in four international matches.

Duel of giants for the signing of Leny Yoro

Despite his short time in Lille's senior ranks, Yoro is in the final stages of his professional contract with the French club, with just 18 months remaining. This has raised concerns at Lille about the possibility of losing their promising youngster in the near future, leading to clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea showing interest in a possible deal for the player.
