The Saudi club Al-Ittihad opens the door to surprises early, as press reports have revealed its move to sign Barcelona's young star Lamine Yamal, in a deal that could be considered one of the biggest in football history.

This move comes as part of the union's efforts to rebuild its offensive strength, amidst the ongoing crisis with French striker Karim Benzema, due to his frequent absences and the stalled negotiations for renewing his contract.

The need for reinforcement in the union is increasing, with strong possibilities of the French winger Moussa Diaby moving to Italian club Inter Milan, prompting the management to search for a young star capable of making a difference.

The Spanish newspaper Fichajes revealed that Al-Ittihad places 18-year-old Lamine Yamal at the top of its priorities and is preparing a massive financial offer that could reach 300 million euros.

The club's management believes that Yamal possesses exceptional technical abilities, along with significant fan appeal, which qualify him to lead the club's project and enhance its presence both locally and globally.

On the other hand, Barcelona's management shows no intention of letting go of the player, considering him a key pillar in the team's project, and refuses to open negotiations at the current time.

Yamal does not show a desire to leave La Liga, as he feels settled within Barcelona, especially after his impressive performance this season with 8 goals and 9 assists in 18 matches.

Lamine Yamal's contract with Barcelona extends until 2031, complicating his departure despite the growing global and regional interest in his services as one of the most promising emerging talents.
