PSG made €200 million bid for FC Barcelona star, report claims

PSG offered €200 million to FC Barcelona for one of their superstars, according to a new report from Fabrizio Romano.

Lamine Yamal’s rise is fuelling excitement at FC Barcelona, as the young star continues to mesmerise fans with his exceptional talent. At just 17 years old, Yamal has caught the eye of football giants like Paris Saint-Germain, with the French club reportedly ready to break the bank for his signature.

Fresh off winning the 2024 European Championship with the Spanish national team, Yamal is enjoying a spectacular start to his career.

Not only is he a key figure for Luis de la Fuente’s Spain National Team, but he has also emerged as a pivotal player for FC Barcelona, establishing himself as a leader in Xavi Hernandez's squad.

His abilities, already showcased under Xavi, are flourishing even more under the tactical guidance of Hansi Flick. Yamal’s chemistry with players like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha has been crucial in Barcelona’s impressive early-season form, making him an indispensable asset for the club.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano (h/t Fichajes), Paris Saint-Germain were highly impressed by Yamal’s talent and were reportedly prepared to offer over €200 million to secure the wonderkid. However, the French club has encountered a significant obstacle.

The reason? Yamal’s loyalty to Barcelona is unwavering. Despite PSG’s considerable interest, the youngster has no intention of leaving the Catalan giants. His ambition is clear; he wants to write his name into the history books at Barcelona.

For PSG, this means they’ll have to look elsewhere to bolster their attacking options. As for Barcelona, they’re prioritising securing Yamal’s future, knowing they have a generational talent on their hands who is fully committed to the club’s project.

Whether true or not, the reality is that if the PSG board seriously offers €200 million to FC Barcelona in the future, the Catalans would have to seriously consider it due to their financial situation. We’ll see what the future holds.
