PSG planned to offer €222m+ for Lamine Yamal – Fabrizio Romano

Paris Saint-Germain considered making a world-record bid for Lamine Yamal last season, according to Fabrizio Romano.

PSG really wanted to ‘attack’ the transfer market after realising that Kylian Mbappe would leave the club for Real Madrid.

There were no negotiations because neither Barcelona nor the player were interested.

The world-record fee paid by a club for a player remains €222m splashed by the Parisians to sign Neymar in 2017.

Lamine Yamal’s current deal with Blaugrana expires in 2026 while his release clause stands at €1bn. He will be able to sign a long-term deal once he turns 18 next July.
