Wonderkid Blaugrana apparently almost joined Bayern Munich in 2022

Gilabola.com – Wonderkid Barcelona, ​​Lamine Yamal, apparently almost joined Bayern Munich with only a transfer of 5 million euros – equivalent to 94 billion rupiah, in 2022.

Revealed BildBayern Munich had a step another step to get a young Barcelona star, Lamine Yamal.

The German giant soccer club – led by their sporting director at that time, Hasan Salihamidzic, held a meeting with a former Spanish star who later became a player agent, Ivan de la Pena, in Madrid in 2022, with the aim of recruiting Pablo Gavi and Yamal.

Bayern planned to wait until Yamal was 16 years old, namely in 2023, and convinced his family to bring Yamal to move to Germany. At that time, Die Roten wanted to secure Yamal’s transfer agreement at a fee of around 5 million euros.

The Bavarian soccer club even hopes to meet directly with Yamal’s parents. Bayern believe that they have an earlier advantage before the big clubs in many countries in Europe are aware of how special about the Moroccan bloody boy.

Then what has changed?

But everything changed when Jorge messed to intervene. De la Pena lost his client for Mendes, who immediately changed the direction of the conversation.

When Salihamidzic called Mendes, the Portuguese super agent calmly said that the Yamal family ‘might be convinced’ with the lure of 5 million euros.

Bayern became hesitant, and worried about the risk that they had poured so much funds for ‘an unknown teenage player’. The brief doubt turned out to be very detrimental to them.

When Bayern were arguing, Barcelona immediately acted. Yamal made his debut on the Blaugrana first team when he was still 15 years old – an opportunity that finally changed his view.

The winger was well aware that the club that raised him in La Masia had already trusted him and gave him a place at Camp Nou.

The moment then changed everything. Because instead of leaving, Yamal decided to continue to commit to Barcelona.

In October 2023, Barcelona made the decision could not be changed anymore. Yamal signed a new contract until 2026, with a release clause of 1 billion euros – equivalent to almost 19 trillion rupiah.

Bayern’s opportunity vanished in one night. Prices that should be cheap at 5 million euros turn into impossible dreams.

Now, the story is another reminder of Barca’s trust in their academy dropout.

Bayern might have tried to persuade him to leave, but in the end, Yamal chose a club that trusted him more than other clubs. The rest, as the saying goes, let it be history.
