Joan Laporta (63 years old), the president of the Barcelonarevealed the “mammoth” offer received by Barcelona two years ago from Paris Saint-Germain for Lamine Yamal (18), which the Catalans rejected at the time.
Paris Saint-Germain have been the protagonists of expensive transfers in the past and it seems that a few years ago they tried to make another one.
As Barcelona president Joan Laporta revealed, two years ago, PSG knocked on the Catalans' door with the intention of acquiring the then 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, and offered the Blaugrana a staggering €250,000,000!

The response from the Camp Nou for the Spanish attacking midfielder, now 19, has been negative, with Laporta noting, among other things, that “we rejected the offer. He was 17. Some people thought we were crazy”he said, quoted by sportal.gr.
However, afterwards, one can feel justified for the answer given to the French, because Yamal is one of the main protagonists of the team and, among other things, led the group at the Camp Nou to win two championships.
