An update on PSG’s continued pursuit of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal

Paris Saint-Germain are well-known admirers of Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal (18), and they have not given up on trying to sign the precocious talent, according to a report from Romain Molina.

PSG had Yamal on their radar even prior to his breakthrough at Barcelona , Molina understands. They, like a whole host of Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, all failed to get their hands on the Spain international, who has since exploded onto the scene. Already a Euros winner with La Roja, he led La Blaugrana to the semi-finals of last season’s UEFA Champions League and came second in this year’s Ballon d’Or, losing out to PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé.

There is a feeling that Yamal is unattainable due to his long-term contract at Barcelona , which runs until 2031. However, that does not deter PSG , whose ambition, Molina understands, remains to sign the Barca forward.

“In Doha (PSG’s owner are Qatar Sports Investments), they say: ‘We want him’. In Doha, it has been decided that they want him, whatever it takes, one day,” said the French journalist. It would potentially take a world-record sum to prise Yamal away from his formative club.
