PSG are ready to break records to sign Barcelona’s 18-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal, but Barça are responding with one of the biggest contract offers in club history.
Paris Saint-Germain have never hidden their ambition to sign global superstars. From Beckham and Ibrahimović to Neymar, Messi, and Mbappé — the French giants have always chased football icons. Yet this season, they entered a campaign without a clear global face for the first time in years — ironically, right after finally winning their long-awaited UEFA Champions League title.
However, the hunger for another headline-grabbing signing hasn’t faded. According to the latest reports, PSG’s top target is none other than Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona’s 18-year-old prodigy, widely regarded as Spain’s brightest footballing talent.
Qatar’s Long-Term Plan to Bring Yamal to Paris
Renowned journalist Romain Molina — known for his work with The Guardian and The Independent — has confirmed that PSG’s Qatari ownership has been tracking Yamal for several years. Following the departures of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé, signing the teenage sensation has become a top strategic priority.
“We have to get him,” Molina quotes PSG executives as saying.
Reports claim PSG are prepared to make a record-breaking offer to lure Yamal from Barcelona, seeing him as the new face of their post-Mbappé era — both a sporting leader and a marketing phenomenon.
Manchester City Watching Closely, But PSG Lead the Race
While Manchester City have also expressed interest in the young winger, PSG are believed to be the most determined. According to Molina, the Parisian side are “absolutely committed” to bringing Yamal to the Parc des Princes in the coming years.
PSG’s management views the Spanish starlet as a rare combination of talent, maturity, and composure — the perfect symbol of a new era.
Barcelona Respond with Record Contract Proposal
Barcelona are fully aware of the looming threat. Sources close to the Catalan club reveal that Yamal has already received a proposal for one of the highest contracts in Barça’s modern history. The deal reportedly includes loyalty bonuses, performance-based rewards, and protective clauses designed to fend off potential suitors.
Beyond finances, Barça are focused on nurturing a strong personal and professional bond with the player. The club is tailoring his development individually, ensuring he receives all the support and structure needed to grow into a long-term leader at the Camp Nou.
Lamine Yamal: The New Symbol of Barcelona’s Future
For FC Barcelona, Yamal is more than just another academy graduate — he represents the rebirth of the club’s identity after turbulent years. His rise symbolizes the next generation of La Masia excellence, restoring both stability and pride.
If PSG truly want to sign him, they will have to submit an unprecedented offer, likely surpassing Neymar’s historic transfer fee.
In Paris, another star chase is underway — but in Catalonia, the message is clear:
Lamine Yamal is untouchable.
