According to Fichajes, Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal club, backed by the PIF, is willing to spend 400 million Euros to exchange the signing of one of the world's best players today. This is nearly double the amount PSG spent to bring Neymar to Parc des Princes.
Al-Hilal is said to be ready to hand over to Lamine Yamal a contract until 2032, with the treatment described as unimaginable. The invitation from the Saudi Pro League becomes an attractive door, not only financially but also an opportunity to experience a new challenge for the young talent born in 2007.
At the age of 18, Yamal has made the whole world admire him with his brilliant performance. He was a key factor in helping Spain win EURO 2024, contributing to Barcelona's domestic treble last season, and finishing second in the Ballon d'Or race.
Blaugrana quickly extended Yamal's contract until 2031, with a salary of about 21 million Euros per year, thereby affirming his central role in the club's reconstruction project.
However, a huge offer from Al-Hilal complicated the situation. The Catalan team initially flatly refused, emphasizing that Yamal was the future symbol of Camp Nou. But heavy financial pressure and internal instability are forcing Barcelona's leadership to face a difficult problem.
According to Spanish media, Yamal is not currently satisfied with coach Hansi Flick, who publicly criticized him for being lazy to support the defense and making many mistakes that led to a goal loss. A typical example was in the match against Levante at the beginning of the season. This rift has sparked rumors that the 18-year-old talent could consider leaving if the relationship does not improve.
