The millionaire offer that FC Barcelona has rejected for one of its young stars

The last transfer market was a very busy one in the 'exit operation' of FC Barcelona. In their search to balance their accounts, the Catalans managed to get rid of Ilkay Gündogan, Clément Lenglet, Oriol Romeu, Sergi Roberto, Mikayil Faye, Sergiño Dest and Julián Araújo, pieces that, except for the German midfielder, Hansi Flick considered expendable. However, the Catalans received some offers for some of their important players, since the other clubs were aware of the team's financial needs.

In that sense, names like Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araújo could have been on the 'ramp' for the exit, but their injuries prevented the Blaugrana institution from making money with their transfers. However, the Premier League would have tried to 'fish in troubled waters', sending a millionaire proposal for Pau Cubarsí to the offices of Spotify Camp Nou.

The Premier League offensive

The young centre-back was one of the great revelations of the 2023/24 season, gaining the trust of Xavi Hernández since his appearance in the first team and earning a place in the starting eleven in the final stretch of the campaign. At 17 years old, the player is emerging as one of the most promising centre-backs today, which is why Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly offered 80 million euros to the Catalans for his transfer.

This is reported by 'El Nacional.cat', where they assure that the two English institutions have reportedly carried out an important offensive to convince the Catalans to let the young defender leave. However, both Joan Laporta and Deco immediately rejected the English proposal, as they consider Cubarsí to be one of the main pillars of the team in the present and the future.

Deco's words on the matter

The club's sporting director spoke about the matter in his interview on 'Barça One', where he said that "There were offers for several of our players but we didn't want to lose any important players. We are building a team and not breaking it up. Falling into the temptation of selling an important player was not easy. We could play with this 'fair play' thing. You can't buy without selling but I was clear that the most important thing was not to sell any important players." In this way, it is clear that Barça is clear about who its 'untouchables' are, and Pau is one of them.
