Teenage Sensation Dismisses Transfer Rumors, Focused on LaLiga Title Race
Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal has made it clear that leaving the Catalan giants is “impossible,” despite rumors of a staggering €250 million (£260m) bid from Paris Saint-Germain last summer. The 17-year-old winger, who has become a key figure in Barça’s quest for silverware this season, insists his heart remains firmly at Camp Nou.
When asked about the reported offer from PSG or interest from other clubs, Yamal told Mundo Deportivo, “I don’t hear about it. If someone in my camp does, they wouldn’t have told me, either. Firstly, and above all, because I have a contract, and then because I think it’s impossible that I would go to another club.”
Yamal’s current contract runs until 2026, but sources close to the club have revealed a verbal agreement is in place to extend his deal until 2030 once he turns 18 in July. The teenager, who has already become a fan favorite, emphasized his love for Barcelona, saying, “I don’t think anyone doubts how much I love this club. I have said as much since I made my debut, and everything will be resolved in the end.”
He added, “If both parties want something to happen, it will happen. In July, when the next season starts, everything will be resolved, and everyone will see. But right now, I am focused on LaLiga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.”
Yamal’s contributions on the pitch have been nothing short of sensational. With five goals and a league-high 11 assists, he has played a pivotal role in Barça’s push for the LaLiga title. The Blaugrana currently sit atop the table, but the race remains fiercely contested, with just one point separating them, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid.
“We have to think that we’re the best team and the side that plays the best football, and I think we are,” Yamal said confidently. “We play the best football, and we want to win LaLiga.”
As the title race heats up, refereeing decisions in Spain have come under intense scrutiny, with Real Madrid recently accusing officials of “adulterating” the competition. Yamal, however, expressed empathy for referees, acknowledging the challenges they face.
“Recently, everything is being put in doubt,” he said. “A referee’s job is really difficult. If you whistle one way, the other team will complain. And if neither complains, another team that’s not playing does.”
He added, “I don’t think we can complain—Madrid, Barça, and Atlético. Referees try to do the best possible. Games between teams like Alavés and Leganés aren’t spoken about as much, and maybe there are more controversial moments. It’s a hard job, and someone will always complain.”
With his unwavering commitment to Barcelona and his focus on delivering success, Lamine Yamal is proving to be not just a prodigious talent but also a symbol of loyalty and determination for the club and its fans. As the season reaches its climax, all eyes will be on the young star to help guide Barça to glory.
