PSG, following Milan Skriniar's injury, have set their sights on Leny Yoro. As reported by 'La Voix du Nord' and expanded by journalist Santi Aouna, Luis Campos has tried to convince the 18-year-old talent to join the Parc des Princes in the current winter transfer window. Valued at 50 million euros by Lille, Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of the young French defender.

Milan Skriniar's injury caught PSG off guard. Despite this, the French club is looking ahead and is targeting Leny Yoro, Lille's centre-back. The 18-year-old is wanted by Real Madrid, but the Parc des Princes are in pole position.

According to 'La Voix du Nord', Luis Enrique's side want to land him in the current winter transfer window, not for next season. The young defender is valued at 50 million euros by his club of origin.

What's more, Luis Campos, PSG's sporting director, approached Leny Yoro's entourage to try to convince them of the transfer. The capital club's intention is to allow him to improve by giving him confidence. The journalist Santi Aouna added that the two sides will open talks this week.

Real Madrid are monitoring his progress, but he is not a priority in the short term. Quite the opposite in the club led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who wants to develop a future centre-back with the Lille gem. It would be a major blow for LOSC after the departure of Tiago Djalo to Juventus.
