It was like a fairy tale when Joan Laporta said there was an offer from a club trying to offer Lamine Yamal a transfer fee of 200 million euros and he firmly rejected it. I mean, if what he said was true he should have released Lamine Yamal and when else could he produce that much for a player. Apart from that, the offer also seems unreasonable because Lamine Yamal, who is still 16 years old, has a team that costs him 200 million euros and his market value even exceeds that of Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.

I can't understand why Barcelona has a club president as funny as Joan Laporta and he continues to create sensations amidst the club's decline due to the financial crisis. I think again, if the offer was real, 200 million should be able to fix existing financial problems and on the other hand he could buy better players for long-term investment. Isn't that quite reasonable? but once again this is just a ridiculous statement from the club president and I don't believe it.
