Amidst friction with Karim Benzema and winger Moussa Diaby nearing Inter Milan, the club seeks a new offensive leader. Fichajes reports Al-Ittihad is preparing a staggering €300 million bid for the 18-year-old.
Management views his exceptional skills and popularity as vital for enhancing their global profile. However, Barcelona considers the teenager untouchable, flatly refusing to negotiate for their project's cornerstone. Yamal also has no desire to leave Spain, feeling settled after contributing eight goals and nine assists in eighteen matches this season. With his contract running until 2031, prying him away seems nearly impossible despite the massive financial incentive. Nevertheless, Al-Ittihad remains determined to secure the promising talent to completely revitalize their squad and make a truly historic statement in the football world.
