Bid rejected: Liverpool knocked back in pursuit of wonderkid dubbed a ‘generational talent’

Liverpool have reportedly been knocked back with an approach for one of their most coveted transfer targets.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Reds have submitted an offer of €50m (£42.3m) to Lille for teenage centre-back Leny Yoro.

However, the Ligue 1 outfit have rejected the bid from Anfield as they’re holding out for a minimum of €60m (£50.7m) for the 18-year-old, who apparently has his sights set on a move to Real Madrid despite the Champions League holders’ reluctance to meet that asking price.
