FC Barcelona is in a difficult financial situation. The problems associated with this have prevented them from making several significant transfers this summer. Ultimately, the biggest deal was the signing of Dani Olmo. Only to register him, the club had to get rid of several other players. We are talking about Ilkay Gundogan, among others. The Catalan authorities also intended to sign Nico Williams, but they did not have enough money to finalize the move. However, it turns out that they had the opportunity to acquire him. One of the football giants offered them a fortune for the young star.
PSG wanted to buy Yamal. Unbelievable how much they offered. Barcelona refused
As Andy Bara, a football agent for Olmo, among others, revealed, Barcelona received a fabulous offer for Lamine Yamal. He is a young and talented player who caused a real sensation in Spain last season. He scored seven goals and provided nine assists in all competitions. He also shone at this year's Euro 2024. He appeared in all the matches, scoring a goal and four assists. There is no doubt that he contributed greatly to the team winning gold.
And it is worth emphasizing that the Spaniard is only 17 years old, so he has a great career ahead of him. Paris Saint-Germain are also aware of this and they wanted to acquire Yamal this summer. He was supposed to be the successor to Kylian Mbappe, who left for Real Madrid. As reported by Bara, they made Barcelona a very lucrative offer and showed that they are determined to acquire the young winger. – I know that Barcelona rejected a great offer from the Parisians for Lamine Yamal. It was around 250 million – the football agent revealed on PodcastInk, quoted by “Mundo Deportivo”.
Yamal could thus become the most expensive footballer sold in history. However, the Catalans did not agree to the offer. Especially since the player's contract allegedly includes a clause worth a billion euros. No club is likely to be able to pay such an amount.
“If I said that Yamal is not a great player, I would make a huge mistake”
Luis Campos, the Parisians' sporting director, also spoke about the possibility of signing Yamal. “Of course I like Yamal, but also Dembele, Kang-in Lee, Asensio… They are great players who have great quality. If I said that Yamal is not a great player, I would make a huge mistake. He is a great player and I am very happy that I can watch him play at such a high level. But we are happy with the performance of the players who are in this position at our club,” he said, quoted by sportskeeda.com. However, he did not comment on the alleged offer.
Yamal thus remained in Barcelona, ​​where he is once again impressing. He has already played four matches, scoring a goal and providing four assists. It seems almost certain that he will also appear on the pitch in Sunday's match against Girona. Kick-off at 16:15.
