According to a report by Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been dealt a blow by Real Madrid in their pursuit of Leny Yoro. The Lille defender reportedly prefers a move to the Spanish giants, and as a result, the Parisians have opted to withdraw from his pursuitl
The 18-year-old is a highly rated teenager in world football, he has featured 44 times for his boyhood club. His contract with the French Club will expire next summer and pressure is on the Ligue 1 side to secure a sale, or risk losing him for nothing.
PSG will consider other options to bolster their defense after opting to switch targets. The French giants have the finances and draw to bring in any other options they desire.

PSG set sights on Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior
According to RMC, PSG is trying to sign Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior to replace Kylian Mbappe. The Brazilian is one of the best players on the planet and a frontrunner to win the Ballon d'Or in October.
The Los Blancos star was vital in the La Liga and UEFA Champions League wins in the recently concluded season. His haul of 24 goals and nine assists in 39 games, including a decisive Champions League final goal, underline his elite class.
It will, however, be interesting to see if Vini Jr follows the trajectory of Neymar and trades a Spanish giant for the Paris-based side. His compatriot's time in the French capital was generally a disappointing affair and might deter him from making the move.
PSG will have to wait till at least the Copa America 2024 tournament is concluded before they get a response from the 23-year-old. the Real Madrid star begins his Copa America journey against Costa Rica on June 25 at the Sofi stadium.
