Paris Saint-Germain now fully acknowledges the inevitable. Their forward, Kylian Mbappé, will leave the team at the end of the current season when his contract expires. This compels the French champions to begin the search for his replacement well in advance. Earlier reports suggested their interest in three players from Serie A clubs, Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, as well as several other players.

However, according to reports from the reputable Spanish publication Marca, Parisians have made an astonishing offer to Barcelona for the right to buy Lamine Yamal's contract. The sum proposed to the Catalan club amounted to an incredible €200 million.

Lamine Yamal has shone at Barcelona this season. Amidst a large number of injuries, the team's head coach, Xavi Hernandez, was forced to field the young player, and he remarkably proved himself. In 37 matches, he scored six goals and provided four assists.

But according to the source, Barcelona rejected this offer as they consider him to be their greatest asset after Lionel Messi.

If the Catalans had agreed to sell the player for the announced amount, this transfer could have become the second largest in football history. Interestingly, the first one also involved Barcelona and PSG when Neymar changed his address for €222 million.
