Yamal is considered one of Europe's most promising young talents, even at the age of sixteen. He became the youngest player to represent Barcelona and quickly made a name for himself at Camp Nou. This season, Yamal has made 37 appearances in all competitions, showcasing his brilliance and flexibility with six goals and seven assists.
With Neymar's €222 million move from Barcelona to PSG in 2017, Lamine Yamal would be the second most expensive acquisition in football history, having received a reported €200 million bid from PSG.
