PSG have chosen Lamine Yamal as a replacement for Mbappe who recently moved to Real Madrid, but Barcelona has not responded to PSG offer of €250 because the player is not for sale. There are no further negotiations regarding PSG interest in poaching Yamal, Barcelona considers him an important player and has included his name in future plans.

Barcelona is starting to implement a new strategy in building a squad, several new superstars born from La Masia are their main capital in building a new strength. Barcelona prefers to sell other players than Yamal, he is the most valuable Mutia they currently have, even though they really need income to get out of the financial problems that have befallen him, they stick to their decision.

Looking at PSG, I would say that it doesn't make any sense for them to sign Marcus Rashford, mainly because at Manchester United he became a player with much lower talent, for PSG to sign him, they would need to see him playing in another big team and if in that other big team, team if he could score a lot of goals and make a lot of assists, then it would make sense to sign him. currently PSG need to sign a player who is at a level close to mbappe's level so that next season PSG can win Ligue 1 and looking at the market, there are few players who come close to mbappe's level

The news I read a few days ago was this:

It makes sense for PSG to go after Victor Osimhen or they could pursue the Sporting player Viktor Gyokeres, who in my opinion would be the best option for PSG if they managed to buy these two players: Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen. with these 2 players on the field playing with Ousmane Dembélé, PSG's attack would be very effective and they would have a squad capable of winning Ligue 1 easily and they would have a strong squad in the European champions league. but PSG will mess up, when it comes to signings, they are terrible

In fact, I see that it is likely that rashford to PSG is very wide open at the moment, PSG only needs to activate the release clause that rashford currently has at Manchester United, besides that I think with the lack of playing opportunities that rashford currently gets, of course he does want to leave later even though he has not revealed it to the public, rashford is of course one of the good strikers but without a guarantee of playing, of course, it will only make his career run in place later so indeed receiving an offer from PSG is the right choice for him to be able to get a guarantee to play and also return to the England national team later, currently Rashford is of course in a difficult condition after no longer getting a place at Manchester United because as a player who has Loyalty to Manchester United, of course, leaving and staying at the moment is a difficult choice for him.

Manchester United is currently in need of a lot of money to fix their squad next season, so the only way is to sell some players to be able to get the money they need to buy new players, besides that the possibility of Rashford moving to PSG can of course happen, if PSG put forward conditions for Manchester United who are also interested in bringing in PSG talented young midfielder,  Manuel Ugarte, so I think maybe PSG will try to make a swap between Rashford and Manuel Ugarte later.

I tried looking for various information regarding Marcus Rashford in several newspapers, but it seems that there are several reports reporting different situations. in several newspapers that I read, Manchester United will not complicate transfers if their demands are met. one of them came from reporter David Ornstein who reported that Man United would not actively let go of a player like Rashford, even though Man United was open to a sale at the right price. moreover, several news reports previously reported that Rashford was the subject of various disciplinary violations last season. On the other hand, several other newspapers stated that as reported by The Sun, a trusted source stated that Marcus Rashford was reluctant to leave Manchester United. Rashford is ready to fight next season, especially to prove himself.

Well, it looks like we haven't been presented with the real news. but yeah, it is possible that Rashford could leave Old Trafford for the Parc des Princes. moreover, several other newspapers reported that Luis Enrique was giving serious consideration to bringing Rashford from Old Trafford. Regarding transfer issues, it's not a big problem for a club as big as Paris Saint-Germain. well, let's see what developments come next. because both Man United and PSG are rebuilding their teams to prepare for next season, it is certain that there will be several interesting transfers and rumors in the news.

PSG targeting Barca's young star Yamal? Thats not just a move, its a message. They've been buying up big names like they're going out of style, and whats it got them? No Champions League titles. They may be realising that dynasties are built, not bought. And Yamal is a building block, potential superstar.

Yamal's departure would hurt, but Barca has La Masia. They produce world-class players for decades. They can replace anyone. Moreover, a large PSG offer may be just what they need to recover financially. Dont cry in your wine, people. Instead, lets look at the good things. This could stir PSG up and give them a chance to develop something real. Barca might cash in and reestablish their dynasty.

Even the said agreement reached by both parties is now said to be rumors, remember earlier the sack of ten hag was rumored so much that it was looking like ten hag was most definitely not going to continue with Manchester united again and the odds where high that by this time he would have left but weeks later they started having a rethink and now we have it that he's very likely to still continue with Manchester united in the new season, so Manchester united in recent times have been characterised with this kind of indecisive actions.

It maybe true they attempted an agreement with PSG of which I believe PSG has got the capabilities to handle of there be any, but then they can still come up tomorrow to turn down the offers provided the deal has been sealed as a done deal, so news around Manchester united for me are mostly rumors until they are eventually sealed as a done deal and the persons in concern moved then I will see it to been something really serious and have been confirmed. Obviously the inconsistent form Manchester united have currently is such that will really put them in a controversial position about selling of players because replacements will be another challenge and the team isn't even in the best of shape to handling such adjustments if made

In as much as RashFord haven't been at his best in recent times, selling him either isn't the  better option for Manchester united not as they are in what looks like na critical situation where they are hoping to get a sound bearing for the team but then they will most likely need that time and even several seasons and in my best opinion doing it without ten hag will be better but the management my have their best reasons why they are still considering doing it with him. PSG may get a second option just should Incase the rashford deal doesn't pull through because it's actually not looking to me like something that will actually pull through in the end.

Lyon took out a player loan from West Ham at the beginning of January this year and finally they had the courage to make Benrahma permanent from West Ham for a fee of 14 million euros. Of course, Lyon is very confident in Benrahma's performance until he finally made this decision. Statistics show that last season Benrahma scored 3 goals and 3 assists and I think those are not bad statistics for a player who has just joined.

Lyon certainly wants to immediately return to the Ligue One title competition and does not want to continue making mistakes like before. However, even so, Lyon also has to focus on bringing in other players, especially for the defender or goalkeeper positions which they feel are not very good at the moment. I miss how Lyon could be like the past where even PSG didn't have the control to stop them and I think if management uses transfer funds well then they can get the right players for the club.

This is still a rumor, but it is not impossible that this will actually happen, Manchester United reached an agreement with Paris Saint Germain regarding the transfer of Rashford. But the problem is who will replace Rashford at Manchester United? because up to now their game is still unpredictable, so they probably won't take the risk of selling one of the players who makes a big contribution to the team's game.
Also, I haven't heard much about Manchester United's movements in the transfer market or maybe they are careful in targeting players. Manchester United itself has quite complicated problems, not only with their players, but it seems chaotic within the management body.
If in the end Rashford really leaves, then they are taking a big risk on the front lines. The reason is that it will not be easy for them to find players who can replace their position very well, or at least be at the same level.

Barcelona faces defeat, so what do they do? The try to steal their best kid. Classic PSG, right? Mbappé skipping town may be beneficial. Consider the huge amount of money freed up to invest in emerging talent like Lamine Yamal. He's promising, but he's still green. Test his PSG pressure cooker skills. He may not flop, but it's a gamble

Barcelona's break was rough. It's like selling your grandmother's jewellery to pay the bills. I suppose this forces them to be innovative. Instead of signing big-money players, cultivate their own talent. A wake-up call is sometimes what a team needs

Rashford happens to be one of tennhags favourite players, and by all indications, ten hag is still going to stay back at Manchester united and if this is the case, the Chances this rumor may become reality are very slim because ten hag having seen rashfords performance iñ times when he was at his best, I want to believe he's still got some confidence in him and wouldn't want to just let go of him because he will be very vital to his success in Manchester united as he's been retained as the head coach of Manchester united.

PSG in a bid to get what will appear to be the perfect replacement for their top striker kylian mbappe will want to go for top strikers in other teams too just as their tradition has always been to hunt to good players as such but in the case of rashford it may not pull through even though I know they have got the financial capacity to make the deal pull through not minding how much Manchester united may want to place on him but then he's too key and vital to Manchester united at this time for them to just let go so it's really going to be a tough one for both sides.

I understand that last season PSG often brought in star players and that was all because the PSG president wanted something big to get quickly in one season but that was a very wrong thing because if a team wants to be successful it should improve the team's performance slowly by building the club with players young people who have long-term careers.
Now it depends on Nasser Al-Khelaifi whether he will remain ambitious with previous mistakes or choose to make big changes as you say.

Yes, as I said before, this is all about the amount of money being offered and also the PSG president's desire to think about the club's future with young players like Lamine Yamal or young players from other clubs who have higher quality talent.
It is true that Barca can always get young players from the academy, but not all young players always have success and maybe Barca will also think again about Ansu Fati's failure.

I don't see any problem with Rashford for Manchester United so it's unlikely that this rumor is true. Manchester United are not in good shape so if they sell one of their key players then their team will be in worse condition. As PSG try to sign a quality striker, that player might be another. Manchester United will make a new plan for Rashford. We have seen that Manchester United have not performed well in the last few seasons so at the moment they will focus more on buying players and try to sell players who are not doing well for their team but they will definitely not want to sell the most important player of their club.

I think Yamal will not leave Barcelona. The reason for this is very simple, it is very small and Barcelona is a very big club. Barcelona is one of the best teams in Spain ever. Going to Paris is an option, but I think Barcelona is more valuable than going to Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona will return to its old strong days in a few years, and I'm sure our current young star will want to be its captain in a few years. We enjoy watching him in Spain, I think he will not go to France. I believe that Paris Saint-Germain will build a better squad with different players because Barcelona will not sell Lamine Yamal.

Rashford in PSG is nothing more than rumors, I think that United will not let him go because they don’t have many good forwards, and PSG is a wealthier club and can afford more expensive forwards who can be the best forwards in their championships. And it seems to me that Rashford is in a comfort zone at Manchester United, he is not trying to become the best of the best, because he has everything he needs, a good team and a place on the field.

Well if I were in the shoes of Marcos Rashford, I will definitely consider the PSG deal because with the look of things PSG is desperately looking for that player that can actually fill up that void that mbappe has left the club and looking at his style and pace he would fit right into especially when he up his training and so much more and again he would be offered more playing time at the french club.

Let's look at the previous few seasons when PSG tried to buy several star players who were already very experienced, but what could they provide in the Champions League competition. It's better to buy young players like Lamine Yamal and the coach can slowly make the team much more solid. If they want to be successful in the Champions League, PSG must change their player recruitment patterns and they should try to utilize young players.

If PSG is willing to make a big offer to Lamine Yamal, maybe Barcelona will consider it. Because Barcelona needs large funds to rebuild the team to become stronger. Without money I doubt it can be done and Barcelona usually has academy players who can develop quickly every season and that can be used in the short term.

It would be a mistake to call it just drama, but the biggest drama in the transfer market has been the deal between Mbappe and Real Madrid. And you can consider Mbappe as the perfect actor for this play. Real Madrid have long wanted Mbappe to play at their club but Mbappe has shown Real Madrid to come every season and Real Madrid have waited but when the transfer window opened he ended up winning PSG with a big financial offer from PSG. Rumors have been swirling this season that Mbappe will confirm a deal with Real Madrid, but until there is any concrete information on this, we are treating it as drama. However, ending all the drama this season, Mbappe has signed a contract with Real Madrid and he will play for Real Madrid from this season.

It's going to be a really good and excellent catch for PSG if they are able to get yamal, that guy is such an exceptional player in Barcelona, I literally had to watch some Barcelona games just so I can see him play at some points, every bit of his games to me was a master piece, he's a really fast rising young talent that any team who gets him should take advantage of because in the nearest future, he's going to be a top rated player if he maintains his current form far long enough into the future. Barcelona will literally find it difficult letting go of yamal after seeing his epic performance over the season, altho they will make some good money of his sales if Barcelona eventually decides to let go and PSG is financially stable enough to taking up the task and buying him over to PSG. The financial prejudice of Barcelona will be a very valid reason to let go of such good classic player if they eventually agree to the biddings of PSG , but for now there have been no official statement in that regards so let's keep it speculative.

Giant PSG is hunting for a new superstar after losing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Lamine is likened to the legendary Lionel Messi and is expected to be one of the gems for PSG's shopping revolution this summer. Lamine Yamal made a strong impression at Barcelona last season. Not stopping there, he became a phenomenon again at Euro 2024 with a great performance in the Spanish team shirt. That makes PSG unable to sit still.

In that context, the amount of 250 million euros is huge for Barcelona at this time. It will help the club solve many financial problems before the new season. That's why this deal has the potential to happen. PSG will break their record. In the summer of 2017, PSG caused a stir when they spent 222 million euros to break Neymar's contract with Barcelona. I believe that the amount of money PSG offers will be enough to convince Lamine Yamal and the Barcelona club.

From a positive thinking perspective, it makes perfect sense for PSG to target Barca's young players and PSG is taking advantage of the situation Barca is currently experiencing in order to get big profits to improve its finances.
Meanwhile, from negative thinking, it is impossible for PSG to have interest in young players who do not have experience because this club prefers to bring in experienced or professional players.
On the other hand, Barca will also not let go of Lamine Yamal before getting a better replacement for this young player.
Unless PSG has a new strategy and makes a very big offer to Barca, maybe that could happen but for me it's very unlikely.
