Spanish outlet Marca reported that Paris Saint-Germain were preparing a big offer for the teenager, as they aimed to bringing in younger talent with Kylian Mbappe expected to leave.

However Laporta has now confirmed receiving a bid but did not name the club and reveal other players also getting big interest.

"We get offers for players like Lamine Yamal, for €200 million, and we have said no," Laporta said, as per Goal

"Because we trust the boy, in his sporting projection, and we do not have the need, on the contrary.

"We have had offers for Alejandro Balde, Fermin, very important Gavi, Pedri, De Jong, Araujo... But we do not want to sell them.

"The only way with these that I have told you, would be at a figure of 1,000 million in income."
