Paris Saint Germain are willing to part with a humongous sum to sign Lamine Yamal from Barcelona, due to the impending departure of Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is reportedly headed for Real Madrid, and club president Naser Al Khelaifi is willing to sign a player, “who can restore the hope to the Parisian club”.
Reports indicate that Lamine Yamal is the player chosen to replace Kylian Mbappe, and the Paris-based club are willing to fork out a staggering amount to sign the youngster.
Based on a report from Spanish media outlet, Marca, it would be the second most important transfer in football history.
The first obviously occurred between Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona, when Neymar moved to the Parc Des Princes for a fee of €222 million.
Barcelona are understood to be aware of PSG's interest in the 16-year-old and the amount they are tabling to sign him.
This was one of the reasons why top football agent Jorge Mendes traveled to Barcelona during the previous week to meet with Joan Laporta.
The Blaugrana side are not looking at selling Lamine, as they see him as the best product from La Masia after Lionel Messi.
However, the amount being tabled is too tempting to reject, and as such, Barcelona remain at a crossroads in the youngster's future.
It has also been said that the Catalan-based club will not sell Lamine Yamal, as the club has its sights on the long-term solution rather than short-term success.
Barcelona believe that players like Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Cubarsí, Balde, Fermín, and Yamal will all come good when they fully develop and that's the reason why they are not willing to sell these players.
Joan Laporta is aware of the issues that €200 million will help solve at the club, however, despite being a sound option financially, sporting-wise, the club presumes that selling the attacker “would be a historic mistake”.
Lamine Yamal's release clause has been pegged at one billion euros, with Barcelona looking to prevent the player from exiting the club as Neymar did in 2016.
Yamal has made 38 appearances for the La Liga champions, scoring 6 goals and providing 7 assists in all competitions.
The winger was handed his debut on April 29, 2023, in a 4-0 victory for Barcelona over Real Betis.
Internationally, Lamine Yamal has made 4 appearances for Spain, scoring 2 goals and providing no assist in all competitions.
Meanwhile, the attacker was last on target for Barcelona in their 1-0 scrappy win over Mallorca on March 8, 2024.
Yamal scored the decisive goal of the game in the 73rd minute, beating Predrag Rajkovic in goal for the away side.
Anyway, Xavi Hernandez's side return to action on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, and Lamine Yamal will be hoping that he can accentuate quality on the day.
