July 9 – According to Spanish media outlet Marca, Lenny Yoro is expected to join Real Madrid for a fee of €40 million plus bonuses to compensate for the departures of Nacho and Rafa Marin.
With the departure of captain Nacho and the imminent arrival of Rafa Marin at Napoli, Real Madrid will only have three centre-backs for the new season – Militao, Rüdiger and Alaba. The team is eager to sign a defender to strengthen their bench.
Last season, Yoro played 31 games for Lille in Ligue 1. At 18 years old, he has already established himself as a starter in the French top flight. In Ligue 1, he averages 1.2 interceptions per 90 minutes, with only 0.7 fouls and 0.03 errors. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €50 million, and his contract with Lille expires next summer.
