Benfica’s Antonio Silva near top of PSG’s centre-back shortlist
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Benfica’s Antonio Silva (20) and Lille OSC’s Leny Yoro (18) are two top centre-back targets for Paris Saint-Germain.
Since Milan Skriniar’s injury earlier in January, it is no secret that PSG have been in the market for a centre-back. Many names have been considered, including Edmond Tapsoba, Diego Llorente, Nayef Aguerd and Maxence Lacroix. However, Les Parisiens only have €20m to spend in the position, according to RMC Sport, meaning that more long-term, dream targets such as Jean-Clair Todibo and Yoro are seemingly out of reach this month.
Benfica defender Silva, who is also a target for Manchester United, also features towards the top of PSG’s list, according to Di Marzio, who admits that a move during the January transfer window would prove difficult.
PSG would also face significant competition to sign Yoro. The France youth international is also a target for Manchester United, as well as Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, as per a report from RMC Sport.
