In recent days, the Spanish press indicates that PSG has sent a historic offer to Barça for the transfer of its jewel, Lamine Yamal. Information that turns out to be a lie in all its little splendor…

If the Spanish media have been reporting the information for several days, with a supposed confirmation from one of President Laporta's right-hand men, it is obviously clear that all this is false.
