PSG are reportedly willing to break the bank in order to sign Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal to replace their outgoing forward Kylian Mbappe. The Parisian club, as reported by news outlets, have even offered to pay €250 million for the Spaniard.

The Ligue 1 champions have faced with a severe crisis ahead of the start of the new season. With the departure of their star forward Kylian Mbappe, who scored 256 goals across seven seasons, to Real Madrid, PSG are now looking to fill this significant void in the attack. Despite possessing the likes of forwards such as Kolo Muani, Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele, they remain long-time admirers of Barcelona wonderkid, Lamine Yamal.

The club had offered about €200 million for his signature earlier this year, which was however rejected by the Catalan giants. According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG have now upped their offer to a record €250 million for the 16-year-old. The Blaugrana, however, are highly unlikely to sell the Spaniard. The French side reportedly sees the young Yamal as a future star after his impressive campaign for both club and country. He recently became the youngest Euros player ever.

Apart from the 16-year-old forward, Luis Enrique‘s side has also been linked with another talented winger, Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, the Italian side is hoping to tie him down in Naples, by offering a massive contract extension.
