Manchester City has started bidding for the highest transfer fee ever to recruit Ramin Yamal.
The British Football Transfer reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Man City has bid 275 million euros (about 440 billion won) to recruit Ramin Yamal.
Football Transfer has reportedly made a historic offer to Barcelona to sign Yamal. If the deal is completed, it will break the previous record for the highest transfer fee ever. The previous record is 222 million euros (about 350 billion won) recorded when Neymar moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, since Yamal has a buyout clause of 1 billion euros (about 1.6 trillion won), Barcelona is not obligated to accept the proposal. Earlier, Chairman Juan Laporta said he had rejected PSG's offer of 200 million euros (about 320 billion won) for Yamal.

Yamal has recently been questioned that he could leave Barcelona over his contract renewal. Barcelona's financial problems are stagnating the renewal of Yamal and the club. Earlier, Barcelona experienced problems such as player registration due to financial problems, and this season, these problems have not been completely resolved.
Spanish media reported 'Yamal is expected to sign a major professional contract when he turns 18. A five-year contract is likely, but there has been a caveat recently. Barcelona said, 'Accounting problems have caused uncertainty in the contract' 'Yamal's contract handling method may be similar to that of Messi. It is significant that doubts about Yamal's future are being expressed'
Because of Lionel Messi's case, Barcelona fans are more anxious watching Yamal's renewal. Earlier in 2021, Barcelona failed to re-sign Messi due to financial problems and had to send him to PSG. Despite various reports that it would be possible to renew the contract at the time, it may be difficult to be optimistic about Yamal's contract because he failed to sign Messi until the end.

Manchester City was the team that was watching the gap between Barcelona and Yamal. Manchester City began a full-fledged rebuild from the transfer market last winter. It has recruited a large number of young and promising players such as Omar Marmusch, Nico Gonzalez, and Abdukodir Husanov, and in the upcoming summer transfer market, additional players will be recruited as the separation from veteran players such as Kevin DeBrouiner, Bernardu Silva and Ilkay Gündoan is imminent. With the offense also in desperate need of reinforcement, Manchester City offered a large amount of money to recruit Yamal, Barcelona's top talent.
Despite Manchester City's tremendous proposal, it is not easy for Yamal to transfer to Manchester City this summer. Yamal is currently signed by Barcelona until the summer of 2026. Barcelona is likely to continue to make efforts to resolve financial problems to renew his contract until Yamal's contract expires. However, if Barcelona's financial problems are not easily resolved, Manchester City's proposal, which has enormous capital, may have to be gradually considered.

If Yamal heads to Manchester City, it can be considered one of the most surprising transfers of all time. Yamal, 17, is already considered Barcelona's present and future. He broke the youngest record for all competitions for Barcelona and Spain. He overwhelmed everyone with his mature skills that did not match his age. Coach Xavi Hernandez decided to use Yamal as a first-team player, paying attention to his talent, and Han Ji-flick, who was newly appointed this season, is also using Yamal as the main player.
Yamal, who has played in Barcelona's first team since last season, has already played a leading role in winning the Spanish national team at Euro 2024 last summer. Yamal showed excellent dribbling ability, speed, sensible finish and sharp kick against European powerhouses, and Spain won the Euros with Yamal's performance. His performance this season is also incredible. Yamal, who played 42 official matches, scored 13 goals and 17 assists to achieve 30 offensive points.
