Lamine Yamal wants to stay at Barcelona
Yamal was linked with a lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain last summer, but Barcelona were unwilling to sell the 17-year-old, while he has admitted that rumours of a controversial move to Real Madrid are wide of the mark.
The teenager has scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions so far this season, and his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at a career high of €174.3 million.
Yamal is the second-most valuable player in world football, behind only Erling Haaland, and Saudi Arabia’s interest isn’t expected to impact his future at Barcelona.
