European giant offers €250m! Barça confirm record bid for Yamal | OneFootball

While Joan Laporta is in the election campaign for the presidency at FC Barcelona, he spoke about a transfer offer the club received two years ago.

"Paris Saint-Germain offered us 250 million euros for Lamine Yamal two years ago," Laporta is quoted by 'Jijantes FC'. However, the Catalans rejected the offer for the then 17-year-old. "Some people called us crazy," explained the current Barça boss, who is also a top candidate in this presidential election.

If they had accepted the offer, Yamal would have become the record transfer in football history. Currently, Neymar holds that spot, having transferred from Barça to the same Parisians who made the offer for Yamal, for 222 million euros in 2017.

Instead of moving to Paris, the Barça youngster stayed in Spain and continues to thrill the fans. This season alone, he has already scored 15 goals and provided 14 assists in 33 matches across all competitions.
