Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that he received a massive offer for 16-year-old Lamine Yamal from Paris Saint-Germain.

Reports revealed last week that PSG had submitted a bid worth €200 million for the youngster.

The French giants are in need of a new winger that would replace Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe.

However, Barca turned down the lucrative offer, as confirmed by Laporta.

The Blaugrana president said, as quoted by Tribal Football: "We're getting offers for players like Lamine Yamal, of €200m, and we said no. Because we trust the boy, in his projection, and we don't have the need to sell.

“We are in a process of economic recovery and already seeing the end of the tunnel." 

Yamal is tied to Barcelona until the summer of 2026.
