Liverpool will be in the market for a new centre-back this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Reds are already working on a new defensive signing heading into the summer, and one player who has been linked is Lille’s Leny Yoro.
The young Frenchman is said to be someone Liverpool are very keen on, but there is a problem.
Indeed, speaking on The United Stand, Fabrizio Romano has been discussing Yoro’s situation, and he says that the teenage defender will cost massive money.
Leny Yoro to cost crazy money
Romano spoke about the young defender and a potential move this summer.
“Leny Yoro at Lille is not an easy deal. Despite having one year left on his contract Lille are still asking for crazy money and Real Madrid have not left the conversations I’m told, It’s complicated, but Real Madrid are still there,” Romano said.
Leny Yoro could be worth it
Leny Yoro will cost an absolute fortune this summer, but there’s reason to believe that he could be worth it.
The teenager looks to be the real deal, and at the age of just 18, he could genuinely be a centre-back option for any club for the next 15 years.
Even if he wasn’t to stay for that long, he would still have an incredible resale value a decade from now.
Investing in young players is one of the best ways to use your money, and Yoro may well be one of the best youngsters in the world right now.
Rio Ferdinand has stated that Yoro will be a star, while he has been described as an ‘incredible’ defender recently.
Yoro will be very expensive, but with his ability and his potential, he could end up being well worth the money for any club that moves for him.
