Real Madrid and Liverpool compete for a $55 million player and it's not Mbappé

It has been rumored for months that Kylian Mbappé may leave France next summer, once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. While he has the possibility to stay there for one more year by activating an automatic extension clause until 2025, or even negotiating a new contract for longer, that he has so far neither done so nor is in negotiations with Nasser Al-Khelaifi shows that he is considering other options.

Should he leave France, his possible destinations are Spain and England. In the Premier League he is expected by Liverpool, who could lose Mohamed Salah in the next transfer window and therefore need a quality forward to replace him. And in La Liga Real Madrid are the favorites to sign 'Kiki', to whom they can offer a sporting challenge tempted: compete for the Champions League title.

But Mbappé is not the only player for whom these clubs are competing. There is another French player who interests Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Liverpool: Lenny Yoro. The 18-year-old defender has played just 35 games for Lille in Ligue 1 and that has been enough to attract the attention of several European giants, who see in him one of the most promising young players in the world.

According to Teléfoot, PSG are keen to sign him, Los Merengues have been following him for a long time and The Reds are also keeping an eye on his performances. Knowing that they can earn a lot of money with him, the Lille chiefs have already decided how much money they will ask for him: €50 million (about $55 million), although according to the specialized website Transfermarkt his market value is half that.

What will happen to him?

Yoro has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2025 and the club's chiefs intend to extend it for longer to ensure they do not lose him next year. However, this week his agent Samir Khiat gave an interview to RMC Sport and said: "Whether he extends or not, it will not change the situation for this summer. He must be one of PSG's targets".
