FC Barcelona rejects huge fee from PSG to sign Lamine Yamal this summer

FC Barcelona was considering selling some crucial players for the upcoming summer transfer window. Players like Ronald Araujo and Frenkie De Jong are valued highly by the club, and if they were to be sold, they could help the financial situation that FC Barcelona is currently in. The club has specifically stated that they wouldn't sell their youngster from La Masia for any price since they are seen as the future of the club. A big offer has reportedly already arrived for a La Masia player and it looked like an offer that would help Barca financially.

Lamine Yamal seems like the new bright star from La Masia who is an asset to the team. Yesterday, he helped FC Barcelona win another game as his goal against Mallorca gave Barca three points and it stayed 1-0. Yamal is having a great season with Barca, as this is his first full professional season as a 16-year-old. He will turn 17 in July. Yamal has six goals and seven assists in 37 games for Barcelona this season in all competitions.

This impact has already interested PSG, which has reportedly offered a mega deal for the teenager. Marca reports that PSG has chosen Lamine Yamal as the replacement for Kylian Mbappe & they are ready to pay $218 million for him. Selling Yamal for $218 million would solve Barça's economic troubles immediately. The club would have the ability to sign with the 1:1 rule. Although this would financially benefit Barcelona, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta knows that selling Yamal would be a historic mistake. That's why the club has rejected PSG's offer. FC Barcelona have put a $1 billion release clause on Lamine because they do not want him to leave as Neymar did.

Yamal, along with other young players, are guaranteed a future at FC Barcelona

Marca reports that Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Pau Cubarsí, Alex Balde, Fermín, and, above all, Lamine Yamal are a guarantee of the future on which the new Barcelona must be based. Laporta knows that the $218 million for Lamine from PSG would relieve the club a lot economically, but at the sporting level, it would be a historical mistake.
