Historic Offensive by PSG for Lamine Yamal: They Also Want to Take His Best Friend

The Parisian club is preparing a double blow that would shake Barça's foundations

Barça Is Getting Closer to Closing a Reconstruction Season. With Hansi Flick at the helm and a young squad full of enthusiasm, the club has shown signs of being on the right path. But as the project progresses, there are threats that don't disappear.

One of the main focuses is, undoubtedly, Lamine Yamal. At 17 years old, he has established himself as one of the great stars of world soccer. His talent, maturity, and impact in key matches make him a priority target for European giants.

The first to make a move has been Paris Saint-Germain. Quietly but forcefully, the French club has already started making moves to attempt the unthinkable.

PSG Wants the Barça Gem

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi Has Given the Green Light to an Ambitious Operation. The PSG president considers Lamine a future investment and a unique opportunity. And he is willing to present a colossal offer to take him from Camp Nou.

The plan is not just economic. In Paris, they want to surround the young player with a competitive, attractive, and, above all, familiar environment. That's why they have prepared a parallel move to convince him.

The goal is to sign one of his great allies on the field.  Someone who has also been on Barça's radar for months.

PSG Has Made Nico Williams a Priority. Their idea is to form an offensive pair with speed, dribbling, and goals. The chemistry between both footballers is evident, and that plays in favor of the Parisian proposal.

At Camp Nou, they view this scenario with concern. Nico is a clear target for Deco to strengthen the forward line. But if PSG gets ahead, they could not only lose a potential signing... they could also put their greatest current asset at risk.

Everything is connected. And in Barça's offices, they know it.

Barça Can't Compete in Figures

PSG Is Willing to Offer a Multimillion-Dollar Sum for Lamine. Figures that, as of today, Barça can't even come close to without jeopardizing their financial stability. They also can't match the salaries offered from Parc des Princes.

Moreover, the French club is in the midst of a reformulation after the Mbappé era. They are looking for a new media and sports leader. And Lamine fits perfectly into that profile.

The threat is real. And from Paris, they believe this is the moment to try.

An Operation That Would Be Devastating

If PSG Managed to Sign Both Players, Barça Would Suffer a Double Blow. They would lose the most promising gem of their academy. And they would be left without the winger who was supposed to complete the new offensive trident alongside Dani Olmo and Lewandowski.

Laporta's entourage considers this offensive the most dangerous so far. Not because of the money, but because of the sports and emotional pressure it can generate. The club is already working to shield Lamine at all levels.

But PSG's move isn't over. And every day that passes without a response fuels the uncertainty.

Despite Everything, Lamine Yamal Has No Intention of Leaving FC Barcelona. His entourage has conveyed to the club that he is fully committed to Flick's project. And that he sees the '10' blaugrana as his personal challenge for the next stage.

Moreover, the player himself wants to play with Nico Williams... but at Barça, not in Paris.  He knows he has everything to succeed at home, and he doesn't want to break the bond with a fanbase that has adopted him as an idol.

PSG will try until the end. But, for now, Barça has the decision of their brightest star.
