Journalist Rates PSG’s Chances Of Signing Barcelona Ace Yamal This Summer

Top journalist Jonathan Johnson has addressed the rumors crediting Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) with interest in Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal. Johnson believes while PSG may be interested in Yamal, they are likely to avoid splurging big on just one player and instead focus on signing four or five players.

With Kylian Mbappe inching close to an exit, PSG are reportedly looking to sign a top-tier young attacker to fill in for him. Yamal, who has been in blistering form for the Blaugrana this season, has emerged as a person of interest. Following Mbappe’s exit, PSG would supposedly have the means to table a lucrative deal and possibly lure the 16-year-old away from Catalonia.

Jonathan Johnson Says PSG Might Be Interested In Lamine Yamal But Could Avoid Mega Transfer

In his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside, Johnson discussed the links, divulging whether PSG could realistically pull off the transfer. He said:

The Lamine Yamal and PSG stories are interesting – how much truth is there to PSG’s interest? Well, they’re always interested in the best young talents around, and although I’d say their interest is stronger when it’s domestic-based talent now, hailing from the Paris region where possible, Yamal is certainly one of the world’s most exciting prospects, so the links make sense.

Still, is a deal for Yamal actually realistic? I think if PSG could move for him at a favorable price, but if it’s a question of triggering his release clause at Barcelona, and we know that they have extremely elevated release clauses, I don’t think that’s a realistic scenario.

Johnson concluded by adding:

PSG will have money to spend once Mbappe moves on, but the way I’d expect them to spend that is to go a handful of players, rather than blowing it all on one name. I think it’ll be three to five players, as opposed to just one or two big names. If the deal was interesting and favourable to PSG financially then they’d look into it…
