We Didn’t Bid €250 Million For Yamal – PSG

French club, Paris Saint-Germain have come out to hit back at claims from Barcelona that they made an eye-popping offer for Lamine Yamal. Recall that Joan Laporta’s adviser, Enric Masip has said that Yamal’s performances recently drew a mega offer for the teenager from PSG.

His words, “The president has already said that he had an offer of €250 million that he had rejected, that he had never considered it. It came from France.”

Reacting, PSG simply said that Enric’s comments are one million percent incorrect, and there is no way they could afford to make such a massive bid right about now.

Laporta had also said he rejected a world-record fee of €250m (£211m/$277m) for Yamal from France before the summer window.

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
