Kylian Mbappe, a free agent, is the brightest star of the 2024 transfer window and is likely to join Real Madrid, which already has an offensive line that is strong enough to compete in the Champions League Final.
However, many won’t view it as the best deal of the transfer season because of his exorbitant salary and how long the move has been in the works.
Oddly enough, Lille center defender Leny Yoro is the next player Real Madrid signs, and he might be the biggest non-free agency steal of the summer 2024 transfer window.
The 18-year-old is unquestionably the greatest central defender available who could perhaps transfer teams this summer. He was arguably the best center back of the 2023–24 Ligue 1 season.
Yoro has been Real Madrid’s top transfer target for the past few months, surpassing Bayern Munich left back Alphonso Davies as Juni Calafat’s and the team’s top desire.
Real Madrid is reportedly in the process of making Lille their first transfer bid for Leny Yoro. The transaction would be for a meager 30 million euros plus bonuses, much to the incredible deal they landed with Rennes in 2021 for Eduardo Camavinga. This information is according to Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato.
Yoro and Camavinga, despite playing different roles, are in comparable circumstances. These are adolescent sensations in Ligue 1, wanted by Real Madrid, PSG, and other teams, but they have a stronger preference for Real Madrid than the others.
