For several months now, the Spanish press has continued to point out that Paris Saint-Germain has made an offer of more than 200 million euros to FC Barcelona for Lamine Yamal. If Joan Laporta had confirmed having received an XXL offer for his player, without however revealing the identity of the club, on the Parisian side, we have always flatly denied such an approach. Mundo Deportivo is today reporting on the red and blue interest in the Barça crack. An interest which would be well before its explosion in the eyes of the general public.
An approach from PSG for a 15-year-old Lamine Yamal?
Indeed, the Catalan media reveals that the three-time reigning French champion had already made an approach for the current Barcelona number 19 when he was still only 15 years old. A “dizzying” proposal for a player who was not even yet professional was then submitted to his representative at the time, Iván de la Peña. Enough to force Xavi to intervene. The 2010 world champion then spoke to Lamine Yamal and told him that he would soon be part of the first team. The rest, everyone knows it. He will make his professional debut with Barça on April 29, 2023 against Bétis Sevilla at the age of 15 years and 9 months before signing his first professional contract on October 2 of the same year and experiencing enormous success.
