Liverpool are reportedly hoping to exact their revenge on Real Madrid for pipping them to Kylian Mbappe by signing Los Blancos target Leny Yoro in the January transfer window. Branded the 'next William Saliba', Lille's teenage sensation has established himself as a regular starter at centre-back for his boyhood club despite only being 18 years old. According to French outlet Le10Sport, the Reds are "advancing in talks" to acquire his services. Liverpool are in desperate need of reinforcements in the middle of their backline with Joel Matip absent for the rest of the season through injury. They still have Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Jarrell Quansah and Joe Gomez at their disposal but the latter is needed at left back to fill in for Andy Robertson and Konstantinos Tsimikas, who remain on the sidelines.
