Barcelona and Spanish national team footballer Lamine Yamal is one of the best players on the planet, but he is also known for a “wild lifestyle.”
His controversial private situations have started making headlines since the day he turned 18 and threw a birthday party that went viral worldwide, even provoking widespread reactions.
He was even investigated by Spanish authorities, as he was accused of inviting people with “dwarfism” to the party.
But that’s not all. Lamine Yamal is very active on social media, where he often posts pictures with his girlfriend, Nicki Nicole, a famous singer from Argentina.
Yamal also demonstrates great self-confidence in his posts, sharing various photos before big matches. For example, before the PSG game, he posted a photo of himself with the caption “No Pressure – Pa Presion.”
Even before the big “El Clasico” match, Yamal appeared on a show where he called Real Madrid a “thieves’ club” and made other inappropriate statements, which, according to Spanish media, motivated Real Madrid players. In the end, Real won 2-1 against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Yamal delivering one of his weakest performances for the club.
These actions have now drawn a reaction from Barcelona.
The Blaugrana club is working closely with the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, to prevent the publication of controversial situations from Yamal’s private life.
The club and the player’s representatives want him to focus solely on football.
Lamine Yamal is a product of Barcelona’s academy and made his debut with the club in 2023 under the management of Xavi Hernandez.
So far, he has won La Liga twice, the Copa del Rey once, the Spanish Super Cup once, and even the EURO once.
He also finished second in this year’s Ballon d’Or race, which was won by Ousmane Dembele.
Lamine Yamal’s market value in the transfer market is estimated at €200 million, according to Transfermarkt.
