Therefore, this amount (200 million euros) is ‘circulating in the corridors’ of PSG. Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s team understands that negotiations can be discussed and views the situation with optimism, if Yamal intends to leave Barça.
In addition to having great financial power, the French intend to count on another asset for the transfer: Jorge Mendes, Yamal’s career agent. His relationship with Luís Campos, PSG’s sporting director, could enhance possible negotiations. Currently in its squad, the Paris team has several players managed by the businessman, such as Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Bradley Barcola, Marco Asensio, Manuel Ugarte and Gonçalo Ramos.
Wearing the Barcelona shirt, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal played 45 matches, finding the net on six occasions and distributing eight assists.
