Manchester City joins Liverpool and Man United in their race for a top defender

Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola would be desperate to improve his defense with more young players despite the Sky Blues getting Josko Gvardiol last summer from RB Leipzig for €90 million.

According to the English journal Daily Mail, the Citizen would join Liverpool and Manchester United in the race to sign a top defender from French football, with Real Madrid also monitoring the player in the last few weeks.

The player in question would be none other than the 18-year-old French center back Leny Yoro from Lille, who has impressed in this season with 28 appearances for the North French club, where he has already scored three goals in the campaign.

How much would City pay for the player?

Loro would have been set a release clause of €70 million by Lille, and despite the asking price being considered a little steep for a young 18-year-old player, Manchester City could complete his arrival after the request of their coach Pep Guardiola to get the defender.
