Ex-Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has claimed Paris Saint-Germain were willing to pay €250 million for Lamine Yamal.
Laporta, speaking at the launch of his new book on Tuesday, said people thought they were crazy for turning it down.
Yamal caught the eyes of top clubs around Europe, after he burst into limelight during the 2023/2024 season.
PSG at the time, were looking to bring in a replacement for Kylian Mbappe who had joined Real Madrid as a free agent.
If Barcelona had accepted the €250 million offer for Yamal who was 17 at the time, it would have surpassed the €222m world-record fee PSG paid for Neymar in 2017.
“When PSG offered us €250 million for Lamine Yamal, and we rejected it, he was 17 years old; some people thought we were crazy,” Laporta said.
