Defensa Central newspaper claimed that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez had contacted the club's legend, Zinedine Zidane, to ask him about a French player to join the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
That player is Lille defender Lenny Yoro, 18 years old, who is at the top of Real Madrid's summer list to support the centre-back position.
Benfica defender Antonio Silva is Real Madrid's first target in the centre-back position, but the Portuguese club's exaggeration of its financial requests, by wanting 100 million euros, made the Real Madrid management turn to another option, which is one euro.
When Perez contacted Zidane, the former Spanish club coach stressed that Yoro is a distinguished defender and can join Real Madrid, and on this basis, the president has great confidence that he is the ideal defender in the next stage at Real Madrid.
Zidane was previously the one who discovered Raphael Varane and brought him from Lens to Real Madrid at a young age until he later became one of the most important defense legends in Los Blancos.
Real Madrid is looking for a young centre-back to replace Nacho Fernandez and join the duo Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao, instead of relying on David Alaba in this position.
