Lamine Yamal receives transfer interest from 4 European clubs willing to multiply his Barcelona salary 10 times: Reports
Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal has received lucrative transfer offers from four leading European clubs, with potential deals that could increase his current salary tenfold, according to Catalan outlet El Nacional. Since getting promoted to the first team at Barcelona, Yamal has continued to grow from strength to strength.
The youngster played a crucial role in Spain's triumph in the EURO 2024 and was awarded the Golden Boy in November 2024. After missing a few games due to injury, he returned to action against Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals of the Supercopa de Espana and again proved he was indispensable to the club.
The La Masia graduate was on the scoresheet in Barcelona's 2-0 victory against Bilbao in the semis and also scored in their 5-2 demolition of Real Madrid in the final. His consistency at 17 years of age hasn't gone unnoticed, and he is being monitored by several top clubs around Europe.
According to El Nacional, Lamine Yamal is being targeted by four European heavyweights. The clubs are Manchester City, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich. Apart from European clubs, the 17-year-old is also attracting interest from the Middle East.
Last summer, it was reported that Paris Saint Germain were planning to launch a €250 million move for the La Masia graduate as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
In the ongoing season, Yamal has made 20 goal contributions in 23 appearances across competitions. According to WhoScored, Yamal is the second highest-rated player in Europe's top five leagues this season with a rating of 7.98. He is also the third most valuable player in the world as per Transfermarkt.
