Paris Saint-Germain’s Pursuit of Lamine Yamal: A Serious Transfer Priority, Confirms “Le Parisien”

In March, “Marka” wrote that Paris Saint-Germain was willing to offer Barcelona 200 million euros for Lamine Yamal. A little later, the appearance of offers at this stage for the 16-year-old was confirmed by the president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta, although he did not directly admit that it was the Parisians.

“Le Parisien” now writes clearly – getting Yamal, who just faced PSG in the Champions League, is one of his transfer priorities for the summer window . This dream comes at a price, but Parisians are very aware of it.

The very young footballer’s contract includes a purchase clause worth a billion euros, which aims to encourage interested parties. FC Barcelona could approach negotiations regarding the true extent of a potential transfer, although it may not intend to do so alone. However, this could change with a signal from the winger himself, indicating that he would like to move to Paris.

PSG is counting on it, and it seems that the EUR 200 million mentioned is circulating in the club’s management offices and the willingness to spend such money must be dealt with seriously.

Jorge Mendes is the ace up the sleeve of the Parisians, with whom they maintain good connections and who has several players in the French team. This is a strong argument, but of course it does not guarantee a successful trade. The approach to the player’s own case will be important.
