Breaking news on the transfer market: Real Madrid are said to have made an offer worth up to €200 million EURO to FC Barcelona for the young prodigy Lamine Yamal. This huge figure, if confirmed, would make Yamal one of the most expensive players in history and plunge FC Barcelona into utter chaos.
The offer has stunned the entire Barca board, exposing deep financial cracks that the club is trying to cover up. Losing the brightest talent of the La Masia academy to their arch-rivals is not only a sporting disaster but also a moral humiliation.
Laporta Sends a “Prayer” and a Big Promise to Florentino Pérez
Faced with the risk of losing a future icon, FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta is said to have made an urgent contact with Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez. According to leaked insiders, Laporta tried to use their limited personal relationship to convince Pérez to withdraw this historic offer.
Laporta’s message was not just a plea, but also came with a grand strategic “promise”: Barcelona would not pursue any of Real Madrid’s transfer targets in the next two transfer windows, including big stars.
More importantly, Laporta summed up all his desperation, threats, and pleas in a haunting eight-word response to Pérez:
“Keep the peace, and I will repay you.”
(The original Spanish source speculated: “Mantén la paz, y te lo devolveré.”)
Analysis: The Weight of the Eight Words and Real Madrid’s Strike
This €200 million offer was not just about getting Yamal; It’s a brutal blow to Laporta, who is trying to shore up the club’s finances.
The weight of the promise: Laporta’s promise to “return the favor” by staying away from Real Madrid’s targets shows how vulnerable Barcelona are. This promise could pave the way for Real Madrid to easily sign other high-profile targets without worrying about competition from their arch-rivals.
Pérez’s reaction: There has been no public response from Florentino Pérez at the moment. However, the move to send a €200 million offer shows he is ready to stir the market and is not afraid to exploit Barcelona’s weaknesses.
Yamal’s future: While Lamine Yamal has signed a contract with a €1 billion release clause, Barcelona know that no player would want to stay if their arch-rivals were to offer hundreds of times the actual value of their current contract.
The biggest question now is: Will Florentino Pérez decide to “keep the peace” at Laporta’s plea, or will he make the most devastating transfer in El Clásico history?
