Yoro,<\/span> lit up\u00a0<\/span>Ligue 1<\/span><\/a> this season with a series of commanding performances as\u00a0Lille<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>earned a respectable fourth-place finish under Paolo Fonseca. He is now a target for European champions <\/span>Real Madrid<\/span><\/a> and French champions Paris Saint-Germain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The young Frenchman is out of contract at the end of next <\/span>season,<\/span> therefore this summer represents <\/span>Lille’s<\/span> last chance to fetch a sizeable fee for the player.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the young starlet was at Wembley Stadium to see\u00a0Los <\/span>Blancos’<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Champions League triumph almost two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

L\u00e9ny Yoro Impresses<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yoro made 32 Ligue 1 appearances this season, scoring twice and forming a resilient partnership alongside Bafode Diakit\u00e9, their displays ensuring that the team ended the season with the joint third-best defensive record.<\/span><\/p>\n
