Liverpool have entered the race for Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old French centre-back, but will have to compete with other major European powerhouses.<\/p>\n
According to Gianluca Di Marzio<\/a>, Liverpool have forcefully entered the game for Yoro’s signature on May 25.<\/p>\n Paris Saint Germain, the giants of his home nation, have also been pushing to sign Yoro for some time but have not found an agreement – especially with the player himself.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Jurgen Klopp\u2019s Top 5 Liverpool Signings<\/a><\/p>\n The journalist revealed that European powerhouses Real Madrid and Manchester United are also in the race.<\/p>\n At just 18-years-old, Yoro has been described as a ‘wonderkid’.<\/a> He stands at a towering 6 feet and 2 inches and has started 30 matches in Ligue 1 for 4th place Lille this season.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Liverpool Considering Summer Move For Feyenoord Shot Stopper<\/a><\/p>\n He profiles<\/a> very similarly to Ibrahima Konate based on percentage of both defensive and aerial duels won.<\/p>\n Incredibly, the Frenchman made his Ligue 1 debut at just 16-years-old.

Joel Matip has been a great servant to Jurgen Klopp over the past eight seasons, playing in 201 matches. He departed<\/a> the club after his contract ran out this summer.<\/p>\nWho is Leny Yoro?<\/h3>\n
