I call this as a bull
If a club offered a youngster 200m, there is no reason to not even take it. Any club would say yes and thats a fact that no other could would deny. Why would a club even reject this offer though, this is going to be a huge transfer record and everyone knows that Barcelona need all the money that they could get their hands on so this is pretty much bullshit for sure
Of course that's bullshit. Who is Lamine Yamal? To be honest, he's certainly not a bad footballer, but I've seen so little of him so far and someone is supposed to pay 200 million for him? That's a 100% lie, because Barca would sell him without thinking twice for 200 million. Even a Messi today wouldn't be worth that much as a newcomer at that age (assuming Messi is an unknown 16-year-old player).
Lamine Yamal is a good football player. Even if he does half of what Messi does, it would be great for him and for Barcelona. But we can't judge him definitively because of a few games of good performances. He has to show us a few seasons of good performances. However, I see Laporte's statements as natural. Every club president always praises his players and says positive things about them. It's a marketing strategy.
