Lamine Yamal was the standout player for Barcelona during the 2024-25 season and one of the biggest stars in world soccer. However, in recent days, he made headlines for reasons unrelated to sports, amid rumors of a romance with a Spanish influencer. Now, she has addressed the situation with a strong message.
With Barcelona not qualifying for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Yamal is enjoying a well-deserved vacation and has recently shared several photos on his social media. This sparked speculation among his followers, as some users noticed similarities in locations and landscapes with photos being posted at the same time by Fati Vazquez.
This fueled rumors of a possible relationship between them, generating outrage among some due to the age difference between Lamine (17) and Fati (30). The topic grew to such an extent that the influencer claimed to have received death threats from people unhappy about the alleged romance.
In response, Vazquez shared a message on her official Instagram account. “It’s sad to see people who have so much darkness inside that they wish death upon someone they don’t even know,” she began. “What others project says more about them than about me. I choose to live with the purpose of continuing to grow and surrounding myself with light. To those who wish me harm, I wish healing, because no one who is at peace with themselves wishes destruction on another.”

The reported explanation from Yamal
Amid this controversy, reporter Javi de Hoyos revealed some details. “Since Sunday, I have been receiving evidence that Fati Vazquez and Lamine Yamal coincided on vacation this weekend. We’ve seen Lamine on her boat, we’ve seen them in the same helicopter… we have several proofs,” he said.

However, he made clear Barcelona’s superstar’s position on the matter. “Lamine Yamal categorically denies being with her, he says they have nothing,” De Hoyos explained. “Lamine would not have gone alone to that vacation spot but with other Barca teammates. Most likely, Fati has something with another Barca player or is friends with one of the teammates.”
What’s next for Yamal?
Lamine Yamal will turn 18 on July 13. Once his summer vacation ends, he and his teammates will return to training with Barcelona ahead of the crucial 2025-26 season. Not only will he compete again for La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League titles, but he will also face two huge opportunities for a player his age.
On one hand, his performances this year have made Yamal one of the favorites to contend for the Ballon d’Or awarded by France Football in Paris this September. Additionally, this season is the final one before the FIFA World Cup 2026, so if he maintains his current level, the winger will have a secured spot with Spain at the tournament.
