Manchester United target Leny Yoro has spoken to Paris Saint-Germain regarding a possible transfer from Lille.
The 18-year-old is set to be involved in a transfer tug-of-war this summer amid significant interest in his services, but Real Madrid remain his most likely destination.
It has previously been suggested that Los Blancos are unwilling to overpay for the teenager, but they remain in pole position to sign Yoro before the summer transfer window ends.

Leny Yoro to join PSG?
RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins has revealed that Yoro has spoken to both Luis Enrique and Luis Campos as PSG attempt to persuade the Lille man to secure a Parc des Princes transfer this summer.
According to Hawkins, the Parisians want to give Yoro immediate game time in order to help his development as a player. The talks were reportedly positive, but Real Madrid remain in pole position to sign the 18-year-old.
Lille will reportedly demand a fee of €50 million for Yoro, who made 44 appearances for Lille last season.
PSG have already announced their first signing of the summer, with Matvey Safonov joining the club for €20m from Krasnodar.
Kylian Mbappe has left the Parc des Princes, however, with the France superstar finally joining Real Madrid on a free transfer. He will be announced as a Los Blancos player following the end of Euro 2024.
