Laporta I refused to sell Lamine Yamal for 250 million euros

Khaberni -  The president of the Spanish club Barcelona, Juan Laporta, revealed details of the historic offer that the Catalan club received to let go of its rising talent Lamine Yamal, confirming that the management did not hesitate for a moment to reject an "astronomical amount" to preserve the future of the team.

The transfer market expert, Italian Fabrizio Romano, quoting from the Jijantes club account on X: "Juan Laporta confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain offered the Catalan club 250 million euros to sign Lamine Yamal two years ago".
Laporta added: "We refused the offer, he was only 17 years old, some thought we were crazy!"

The Parisian move at that time was an attempt to replace their star Kylian Mbappe who moved to Real Madrid.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi's management saw Yamal as a unique replacement capable of leading the club's new project.
