Like Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal has joined this caste of players who no longer even need to be on the pitch to make the headlines. Currently in the infirmary, the FC Barcelona prodigy (18 years old) is fueling all the debates on the other side of the Pyrenees.
And the information that panics Barça followers comes from French YouTuber Romain Molina. In his latest video, the whistleblower reported a pronounced interest from Paris Saint-Germain for the Spanish star.
Lamine Yamal, world football superstar.
“ In Doha we said: “we want it”. They decided: “We want it, whatever happens one day, we need it.” And you also know the very close links between Jorge Mendes and Qatari decision-makers “, launched Molina. If this version has been denied by several media, it leaves doubt as to the real intentions of PSG.
Can Lamine Yamal really leave Barça?
While relations between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona have largely warmed up in recent days, as evidenced by the return of Joan Laporta to the UEFA family played by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, other elements seem to cool this XXL rumor, starting with the player's contractual situation.
Lamine Yamal has extended his contract with Barça until 2031. Spanish media The Confidential indicated that PSG was ready to pay 230 million euros – a symbolic sum which would be higher than the record with the transfer of Neymar at 222 million euros. But Paris would be very far from the mark since Yamal's release clause – one billion euros (!) – is not in the same spheres as that of “Ney” in 2017.
