FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta surprised everyone by revealing to Spanish outlet Jijantes that Paris Saint-Germain had allegedly attempted to sign Lamine Yamal. According to him, a spectacular €250 million offer was submitted two years ago in an effort to lure the young Catalan talent away from Barça.
PSG and Lamine Yamal: Joan Laporta’s explosive statement. At just 17 years old at the time, Yamal was already viewed as a phenomenon capable of shaping football history. Laporta claims he rejected the record-breaking proposal, despite internal questions within the club.
Conflicting Versions Over a Record-Breaking Transfer Attempt
A bold decision that would have prevented one of the biggest transfers ever considered in modern football.
On PSG’s side, however, the story is entirely different. According to an article published by L’Équipe on November 19, 2024, the Parisian club firmly denies ever making such an offer, insisting it did not have the financial capacity to propose such an amount. Between the Barcelona president’s sensational claim and PSG’s categorical denial, uncertainty remains. One thing is certain: even as a teenager, Lamine Yamal was already attracting the interest of Europe’s biggest powers.
