The exit of their all-time leading goalscorer has paved the way for Les Parisiens to start planning for their future without him.
There have been many stars touted as potential replacements for the France captain at the Parc des Princes, and the latest is Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the record Ligue 1 champions are prepared to pay as much as €250 million (R4.8 billion) in an effort to lure the teenager to Paris.
PSG already hold the record for the most expensive transfer ever after they paid Barcelona €222 million (R4.3 billion) for Neymar in 2017, and seven years later, it seems the club's chiefs are looking to achieve a similar feat.
The same report claims that the French side offered Barca €200 million (R3.8 billion) for the La Masia alumni earlier this year, and now it seems that are eager to improve their offer for Yamal.
While the money could go a long way in alleviating the Spanish club's precarious financial situation, it is said the Blaugrana have no interest in selling the Spain international.

Barca president Joan Laporta stated as such in March, and it appears their stance remains the same today. Any club that tries to get Yamal out of Catalonia will likely have to trigger the mooted €1 billion (R19.3 billion) release clause in his contract.
