Saudi Arabia is making waves in football again, this time setting its sights on Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal with a jaw-dropping 400 million euro offer.
The move signals Riyadh’s relentless push to snap up the game’s brightest stars and cement its place on the global stage.
According to reports, Riyadh is preparing an unprecedented offer of 400 million euros in order to move Barcelona to separate from this exceptional talent.
This offer, which is exceptionally high even after today’s standards, underlines Saudi Arabia of ambitions to set a worldwide sign in the international transfer market.
Yamal, whose contract at Barcelona runs until 2026, plays an outstanding season with 14 goals and 21 assists in 43 games. His dribbling and ability to create opportunities have made him an indispensable part of Barcelona’s squad and the new generation of Spanish football talents. But the club has no intention of letting him pull it and sees it as the cornerstone of his future.
After the transfer of Vinicius Junior failed, Saudi Arabia is now putting everything on Yamal. However, the transfer is difficult. On the one hand, Barcelona has to be convinced to separate from her most valuable young player. On the other hand, Yamal, who wants to continue building his career at Camp Nou, has to be convinced of a change.
