Inda Announces Chelsea's Plans with Lamine Yamal
Eduardo Inda announced last night on El Chiringuito Chelsea's new major target. Whatever it takes. For now, they are willing to pay 300 million euros, but it could be more.
Lamine Yamal is highly desired by the world's top soccer clubs. Coinciding with Leo Messi's decline, Yamal is the light that illuminates the future of world soccer.
Everyone knows that FC Barcelona is going through very serious financial problems. Soon they might lose Dani Olmo, and even their own auditor doesn't validate the VIP seats lever. Meanwhile, Tebas is lurking to pounce on Barça and worsen their financial crisis with new restrictions.
Chelsea is up to date with Barça's situation. They are convinced that putting 300 million on the table will solve Laporta's financial problems. But the price is high: losing Lamine Yamal.
Eduardo Inda explained last night on El Chiringuito that Todd Boehly is ready to take the plunge and offer 300 million for Lamine Yamal, the sensation of world soccer.
Inda pointed out that "there is a European club that is filthy rich. Todd Boehly entered Chelsea and now has a whim, a target in his mind...
He is willing to offer 300 million euros for that whim. The whim is Lamine Yamal. He hasn't renewed with Barcelona, it's not signed yet."
Boehly bought Chelsea from Roman Abramovich in 2022 for 3.2 billion. And in five transfer windows, he has already spent 1.3 billion on 39 players.
Lamine Yamal and Joan Laporta's Plans
Awaiting what happens with the astronomical Arab offer for Vinícius, the offer for Lamine Yamal constitutes the highest ever proposed in the history of soccer.
Barça is trying to secure their star and will announce a new contract this summer when he comes of age. Will it be enough? Chelsea will always pay more.
Lamine Yamal is living a dream, playing for the club of his life, and at Barça, he feels at home and protected. The thought of leaving Barça hasn't crossed his mind.
What might happen at 25 is another matter, but that is far off in Lamine Yamal's horizon.
What is certain is that Joan Laporta will never transfer him. After letting Messi go after announcing he would stay, the members would never forgive him for letting Lamine leave before turning 20.
