Real Madrid are leading a host of Europe’s top clubs in the race for Lille sensation Leny Yoro.

That’s according to French outlet Telefoot (as cited by Diario AS), who have today provided an insight into the ongoing speculation surrounding Yoro’s future.

The youngster, for his part, is widely considered to be one of the finest emerging talents in not only his home country of France, but all of Europe.

This comes with Yoro, at just 18 years of age, having already established himself as a central figure at the heart of Lille’s backline.

All told, across the season to date, he has featured from the off in 16 of the club’s 18 league outings, even chipping in with a pair of goals along the way.

Looking like a potential superstar in the making, and already likened to iconic French stopper Raphael Varane, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of interest in Yoro’s services beginning to mount.

As per the aforementioned Telefoot, all of Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid have set their sights firmly on the French youth international with a view to the summer.

It is Real, though, who are viewed as being in ‘first position’, ready to add yet another up-and-coming prodigy to the club’s already burgeoning crop of breakthrough talent.
