Before Lamine Yamal left for the European Championships in Germany, Barcelona received an offer of 250 million euros for their player. The Spanish club’s board did not consider his departure for a moment despite the dizzying figure, which, according to ‘EFE’, could have come from Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona rejected an offer of 250 million euros for winger Lamine Yamal before the European Championship, considering him untransferable as a key player in their sporting project, according to ‘EFE’.
This offer, allegedly coming from Paris Saint-Germain, was not even contemplated by sporting director Deco, who last season, in addition to Lamine Yamal, has undertaken the renewal of other jewels of the academy, such as Pau Cubarsi and Hector Fort.
Yamal, who will turn 17 in a few days’ time and has become the star of the European Championship with the Spanish national team, has been renewed until 2026 – extendable to 2028 when he reaches the age of majority – and has a 1 billion euro buyout clause.
Cubarsi, who will play in the 17-year-old Olympic Games with Spain, renewed until 2027 with a 500 million euro clause. And Fort, who will turn 18 next month, renewed until 2026, although the club did not disclose at the time how much his clause is now set at.
Barcelona also renewed 21-year-old midfielder Fermin Lopez, one of last season’s revelations, last season until 2028, with a 400-million contract clause.
And among the most promising players, the only one they have not been able to keep is striker Marc Guiu, who has finally preferred to pay his clause (6 million euros) and join Chelsea.
