TRANSFER MARKET: PSG DENIES A COMPLETELY CRAZY OFFER FOR YAMAL

Votre programme dans un instant

Brilliant at Euro 2024 with Spain and a star in the making, Lamine Yamal is already attracting attention during the transfer window. Despite rumors in Spain, Paris Saint-Germain has denied offering €250 million to sign the Barcelona star this summer.

Orphaned by Kylian Mbappé , officially a Real Madrid player since July, PSG is struggling to shape a squad capable of fighting for all the titles in 2024-2025. While several names are mentioned in defense as well as in attack, that of Lamine Yamal has come up insistently in recent days.

Especially after the information from the EFE news agency about an offer of 250 million euros for the prodigy who will celebrate his 17th birthday this Saturday. However, according to the information published this Thursday by the Catalan newspaper Sport , the Ile-de-France club denied having made such a proposal for the Spanish nugget.

Such an amount would be a record and a higher compensation than that paid by Paris to acquire the Brazilian Neymar in 2017. Seven years ago, PSG surprised everyone by snatching him from Barça for 222 million euros. Clearly, it is not yet ready to do the same for Lamine Yamal.

PSG surprised by such rumors

Trained at Barça and even brought up at La Masia, Lamine Yamal is coming off a convincing first season with the Blaugrana team. Now an undisputed starter at club level, the winger has also become essential for the national team at Euro 2024. In the semi-final against France, the phenomenal teenager even allowed La Roja to equalise by scoring a superb goal .

While EFE reported an approach from PSG before Euro 2024, Sport claims that sources in Paris shared their surprise after such a rumor. And this despite the excellent relations of the Parisian club with the agent of Spain, a certain Jorge Mendes (who succeeded Ivan de la Peña, Luis Enrique’s agent, in 2023).

A Billion Clause for Yamal

Under contract until 2026 with the possibility of extending the adventure until 2028, Lamine Yamal will not be let go so easily by Barça. Especially if the will-o’-the-wisp wins Euro 2024 with La Roja.

In order to secure its new prodigy, the Catalan club has already included an XXL release clause when signing his latest contract. Considered untouchable by his management, Lamine Yamal could leave if a club paid a billion euros to recruit him.
