PSG Eyes Barcelona Prodigy Lamine Yamal as Mbappé Replacement, Prepares Record Bid

In search of a very talented player to replace the French international Kylian Mbappé, now at Real Madrid, PSG would be ready to break its transfer record for the young striker Lamine Yamal, but it faces a major difficulty: Barça has no intention of "selling" its Moroccan prodigy.

At only 16 years old, Lamine Yamal is already a starter at the Euro with La Roja and is putting in good performances in every game. Enough to seduce PSG even more. He is back in the sights of the Parisian club. After an unsuccessful attempt last March, PSG is coming back and increasing its previous offer, going from 200 million euros to 250 million euros, Mundo Deportivo believes. This offer of 250M€ that PSG would be ready to make to recruit the Barcelona prodigy represents the biggest transfer in history ahead of the 222M€ of Neymar in 2017. A way for the Parisian club to beat its own record for a striker full of talent. However, Barça is not about to accept this crazy offer.

The Catalans have secured their prodigy and have no intention of going back on their decision. Last October, FC Barcelona extended Lamine’s contract until 2026 with an automatic extension until 2031 as soon as he reaches the age of majority. This contract contains a release clause of one billion euros. Nothing less!
