PSG Reaffirm Pursuit of Lamine Yamal as Barcelona Hold Firm
Barcelona’s €1 billion clause keeps any move unlikely for now.
Overview
- A new report from Romain Molina, relayed by Get French Football News, says PSG’s ownership in Doha remains determined to sign the 18-year-old forward "whatever it takes" at some point.
- Barcelona have Yamal under contract until 2031 with a reported €1 billion release clause, and multiple reports indicate a sale would only be considered if he asked to leave.
- Claims that PSG could go to roughly €230 million are circulating via Defensa Central and secondary outlets, but there is no confirmation of a formal offer or negotiations.
- Manchester City are also reported to retain long-term interest, having pushed before his renewal, according to Molina and City Xtra coverage.
- Yamal’s rapid rise — including Euro 2024 success, the Kopa Trophy and a Ballon d’Or runner-up finish — underpins why elite clubs are monitoring him despite the contractual barriers.
