PSG's €250m Bid for Lamine Yamal Rejected by Barcelona

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) proposed a massive €250 million bid to sign Lamine Yamal, a rising star from FC Barcelona. This offer was firmly rejected by Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, who spoke during the launch of his new book.

Laporta recounted the extraordinary approach from PSG, which is seeking to secure high-profile talent in light of Kylian Mbappé's potential departure to Real Madrid. The proposed fee would shatter the existing transfer record, surpassing the €222 million PSG paid for Neymar in 2017.

Despite the significant interest from PSG, Laporta emphasized that Barcelona is not considering the sale of Yamal, who has emerged as one of Europe's most exciting young talents during the 2023-2024 season and is seen as a cornerstone of the club's future. Barcelona remains focused on retaining Yamal amidst the growing global attention on his rapid development.
