'Talked to Luis Enrique': PSG have now opened talks to sign 'incredible' £42m Liverpool target - journalist

Liverpool want to make a number of new signings this summer but face missing out to PSG when it comes to one in-demand star.

The Reds are ready to strengthen the squad with Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes in place and a number of players are being linked.

In terms of positions, defence and a wide forward seem to be the two key areas the Reds are looking at.

However, when it comes to potentially signing one of the top up and coming defenders in Europe at the moment, Liverpool could have lost ground to French giants, PSG.

PSG open talks to sign Liverpool target Leny Yoro

According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, PSG have now made their opening move for Yoro.

Taking to X to provide the update, Hawkins has said that Yoro has now spoken with both Luis Campos and Luis Enrique over a move to Paris.

The fee is going to be around £43m should any deal be done, albeit Real Madrid are still the main contender to land the impressive young Frenchman.

Liverpool’s Leny Yoro hopes appear slim

We all know Liverpool are keen on the ‘incredible‘ young defender but as it stands, it looks like they’ve got work to do to sign him.

Reports on Friday appeared to suggest that both Liverpool and Man United were refusing to give up on signing the teenager.

However, with Real Madrid an obvious destination for Yoro and now PSG stealing a march and actually opening talks, wit looks like the English clubs are being left behind.

Quite whether this can be rescued at all by Liverpool, is anyone’s guess right now.

Liverpool do, of course, need to make a few new signings this summer and Leny Yoro ticks plenty of boxes in terms of his age and profile.

But right now, the European teams seem to be ahead of the Anfield outfit.
