Joan Laporta, FC Barcelona President, has revealed he rejected an offer for one of his players that would have broken the transfer world record. Read on to discover who the player is and how much was offered for him.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with Bar\u00e7a One, Joan Laporta revealed he rejected an enormous bid<\/a> for winger Lamine Yamal six months ago. The FC Barcelona President spoke of an offer worth \u00a3207 million which would have surpassed the \u00a3184 million that was paid for Neymar Jr by PSG as being the highest transfer fee of all time.<\/p>\n It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano<\/a> that it was the French club again making the offer to the Catalans. Still only 17 years old, this would have seen Yamal link up with fellow Spaniard Lu\u00eds Enrique in Paris.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Spanish National Team Make History With Lineup Not Seen For 96 Years<\/a><\/p>\n However, Laporta sounded proud in his statement, adding \u201cImagine how much Lamine Yamal can be worth now\u201d.

He’s been involved in eleven goals for club and country already this season; leading the way in La Liga for assists<\/a> alongside \u00c1lex Baena of Villarreal CF.<\/p>\n This contribution has helped his club to sit atop the league table and his country to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Nations League. But questions must be raised about lumping such a huge transfer tag on his shoulders.<\/p>\nA Deserved Price Tag?<\/h3>\n
