The unprecedented offer for the 18-year-old phenom comes amid reports of the player’s frustration, testing Barcelona’s resolve amid their financial pressures.
In a move that could redefine the football transfer market, FC Barcelona has reportedly received a staggering €400 million offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for their teenage superstar, Lamine Yamal. The bid, described as “unprecedented,” would shatter the current world record and is testing the Catalan club’s ability to hold onto its most prized asset.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Al-Hilal has placed the monumental offer on the table, proposing a seven-season contract for the 18-year-old winger. The offer dwarfs Yamal’s current market valuation of €200 million and far exceeds a rumored €230 million bid from Paris Saint-Germain.
While Barcelona has reportedly rejected the offer initially, reaffirming Yamal as a cornerstone of their future, the club’s well-documented financial struggles add a layer of complexity to the situation. The massive bid presents a severe test of their resolve.
Complicating matters further are reports of frustration from the player’s camp. Sources suggest Yamal is feeling “frustrated by the public criticism” from his own coach, Hansi Flick. The manager recently made headlines by publicly accusing the Spanish national team coach of “not taking care” of Yamal after the teenager returned from international duty with a groin issue. Flick has since stood by his comments, stating, “I want to protect my player… this is the reason I made it a little louder than normally.”
Yamal, who has already made over 100 senior appearances for Barcelona and was in Ballon d’Or contention this year, is under contract until 2031. The coming weeks will reveal whether the allure of a historic payday and a fresh start, or Barcelona’s ability to reassure their young star, will ultimately decide his future.
