“I watched him closely during his match against PSG and I must say he did very well. He’s the best fit for our center back position” – The amazing defender that dismisses Mbappé from scoring any goal during a match against his team is the preferred center-back for Madrid as a replacement for Alaba and his price is around €30 million.

Real Madrid has been observing Leny Yoro for an extended period, and the current circumstances might present an opportune moment to secure his signature.

The club had been planning to bolster its central defense in the upcoming seasons, recognizing the need for a generational shift given the age of players like Nacho, Alaba, and Rüdiger.

The recent injury to Alaba has underscored this necessity, leaving only two central defenders in the first team.

Real Madrid is actively pursuing a center-back in the winter transfer market, with 18-year-old Leny Yoro from Lille being a highly regarded option.

While Transfermarkt values him at 18 million euros, Lille may demand more due to widespread interest, and his contract until June 30, 2025, adds a strategic element to negotiations.
