Liverpool’s interest in Leny Yoro was understandably greeted with an air of resignation by supporters on Thursday night. The Reds are in the market for a new centre-back and have identified the 18-year-old, who is out of contract at Lille next summer, as a ‘unique market opportunity’ , given the fact that, after emerging as one of the most coveted players in Europe, he is actually available for transfer.
Kopites have grown sick of the sight of Real in recent seasons, having lost out continuously to the Spanish giants both on and off the pitch. As well as an increasing resignation when going toe-to-toe with the Madristas in the transfer market, the La Liga outfit have also emerged as Liverpool’s ‘White Whale’ in the Champions League.
