⚽ Hey football fans! Barcelona's president Joan Laporta just spilled some exciting news that's got us buzzing! Despite receiving jaw-dropping offers up to 200 million euros (that's about $217.3 million!) for their young talents, Barça is saying a big 'No gracias'! 🙅♂️
In an exclusive chat with Mundo Deportivo, Laporta emphasized the club's commitment to keeping their homegrown stars. \"We're receiving crazy bids for players like Lamine Yamal around 200 million euros and we're rejecting, of course,\" he said. \"We trust Lamine and we don't need to sell. We received bids for Balde, Fermin, Pedri, De Jong, Araujo, Gavi… we don't want to sell our stars.\" 🌟
🔥 Lamine Yamal, at just 16, is already making waves! He became the youngest player and goalscorer for Spain after netting against Georgia in the UEFA European Championship qualifiers. This season, he's been on fire with six goals and seven assists in 39 appearances for Barça! 🎯
Despite the club's financial challenges and a whopping one billion euros debt, Laporta assures fans that selling their future legends isn't the answer. And for those dreaming of big-name signings this summer, looks like we'll have to wait. 🚫📝
But hey, who needs big names when you've got rising stars ready to light up the pitch? 🌠 The future looks bright for Barça, and we can't wait to see what's next! 💙❤️
