Barcelona is anxious: Not for sale!

1:32am, 16 October 2025【Football】

Crazy! The 18-year-old Yamal has not yet reached his peak, and the football world has already started a "money-spending war" for him. On the one hand, the Saudi giant's sky-high 400 million euro offer was widely spread, on the other hand, Barcelona firmly denied that it had "never seen the offer", and on the other hand, it was revealed that Paris was preparing to break the record of 230 million euros to grab someone - this game surrounding a talented young man is more exciting than a football match!

Transfer Rashomon: Is the 400 million euro offer true? There is a secret behind Barcelona’s attitude

The tipping point came from the Spanish media Fichajes.net’s revelation: Riyadh Crescent, coached by Simone Inzaghi, submitted an “unprecedented” offer to Barcelona. The transfer fee of 400 million euros directly doubled the transfer price of 200 million euros for Villamar. If the transaction is completed, it will break Neymar's football record of 222 million euros and leave him far behind. What's even more cruel is that the contract given to Yamal lasts for seven years, and the sincerity is so full that it is "stupid".

But the reversal comes faster than lightning. When "Marca" asked for confirmation, Barcelona directly poured cold water: "I haven't received any offers! Even if there is one, I will definitely reject it!" This sounds tough, but when you think about it, it is full of confidence - last year Paris asked for 200 million euros, and Barcelona did not relent. How could it be moved by 400 million euros now?

However, knowledgeable fans can see that this is more like a "transfer smoke bomb." The International Sports Research Center (CIES) has already set the tone for Yamal: a valuation of 329 million to 383 million euros. Although 400 million euros is an exaggeration, it is not outrageous enough. Rather than saying that the quotation is genuine, it is better to say that it is a "test move" by various forces.

Mendes’ game: getting the maximum salary at the age of 18, Barcelona is being forced to raise wages?

Behind the scenes of this farce lies the figure of super agent Mendes. Reporter Romain Molina directly revealed the inside story: Yamal's contract renewal is simply a "game of intrigue."

The cards in Mendes's hand are too tough - while he is fighting fiercely with the top management of Paris and Qatar, he is also using offers from other clubs to put pressure on Barcelona in turn. The final result is that Yamal renewed his contract this summer until 2031, and the contract directly gives him the "league maximum salary": a fixed annual salary of 8-10 million euros. Counting bonuses, signing fees and image rights, the annual net income can reach 15-20 million euros, and it is increasing year by year. To receive this kind of treatment at the age of 18, Barcelona is clearly "paying money to lock people in".

What's even better is Mendes' "spare tire strategy": he has long persuaded Manchester City to regard Yamal as the "successor of Messi". After all, Blue Moon has not let go of the regret of missing Messi back then. It's a pity that Barcelona's defense is too strong and Manchester City can't even touch the goal.

Paris makes a killing move: 230 million euros breaks the record, can money open the door?

Manchester City had no chance, but Paris had no intention of giving up. Foreign media just released the news: Paris has prepared an offer of 230 million euros and is waiting for the right time to sell it. This number just surpasses Neymar's record, which clearly shows that "records speak for themselves."

Paris's attitude is even more arrogant: "No matter the cost, we will get him one day." You know, they just spent 65 million euros to buy Gonzalo Ramos this summer, and they tripled their budget for Yamal, which shows how ambitious they are. Barcelona's response was only one sentence: "Yamal is not for sale."

On one side is the logic of rich people that "money can make all the difference", and on the other side is the insistence of wealthy families who "protect the core to death". In this way, 18-year-old Yamal has become the most sought-after "hot potato" in football. As fans say: "Football has never been a sport for 11 people. It is the adrenaline of the entire city."

This transfer drama has just begun. Mendes is still making plans in the dark. Paris may increase its stakes at any time. Can Barcelona keep its own talent? Do you think Yamal will eventually stay at Camp Nou, or will he be poached for a sky-high price?
