PSG wants to turn FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal into the next Neymar, report says

PSG wants to turn FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal into the next Neymar, according to a recent report from a Spanish outlet.

Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's young superstar and one of the brightest talents in world football, has reportedly caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain.

The Parisian club seems to have set their sights on making Yamal the next Neymar, per Fichajes, aiming to pull off a deal of similar magnitude.

According to a recent report, PSG is determined to secure the services of the Spanish prodigy and is even prepared to make him the most expensive signing in football history.

However, Barcelona remains steadfast in its stance, determined not to yield to the French giants' advances, knowing that Yamal is pivotal to their future.

At just 17 years old, Yamal has already cemented himself as one of the most exciting prospects in the game. Since his debut with the senior squad, he’s won over the hearts of the Camp Nou faithful, who see him as the cornerstone of a new golden era at the club.

The Blaugrana are keen to shield their young gem, ensuring he remains central to their plans with a secure contract that includes protective clauses to fend off interest from clubs like PSG.

PSG's interest in Yamal shouldn't come as a surprise, given their history of chasing global stars to bolster their ranks and keep their stronghold on European football.

The approach echoes the strategy they employed in 2017 when they lured Neymar away from Barcelona by triggering his release clause in a record-breaking move.

For now, Lamine Yamal remains focused on his current role, enjoying his rising prominence at Barcelona. The Catalan club, fully aware of the gem they possess, has no intention of letting him go without a fight.

Although PSG's history suggests that this could be possible, the reality is that the club's policy has shifted compared to the operations we saw in 2017.

Under the leadership of Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, Paris now focuses more on developing their own stars rather than just buying them. Of course, this policy has only been in place for less than two years, so surprises could still be on the horizon.
