Barcelona ace Lamine Yamal is enjoying his holiday as Barcelona are not part of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, and the teenager’s time off is catching attention after he was spotted having fun with an older model.
The Spain international, who turns 18 this July, was spotted with Fati Vazquez, who is 12 years older than the Barcelona attacker and football’s most valuable player. His holiday has been the talk of town in Spain, especially with the links to Vazquez.
Both Yamal and Vazquez have posted separate photos on social media which indicates they are in the same area around the same time, though, none of the photos have them together.
The Barcelona star categorically denied being with Fati Vazquez according to gossip reporter Javi de Hoyos when he contacted Yamal, insisting that he has ‘nothing going on’ with the 29-year-old model.
On her part, Vazquez responded told La Familia in a call, “I’m getting slammed, and it feels unfair. First of all, I’m 29, I haven’t even turned 30 yet. I haven’t done anything wrong; I haven’t hurt anyone. This is affecting my family deeply, and honestly, I don’t want it to escalate further,” she said.
Vazquez added, “We’re talking about death threats, being called a pedophile, insults… It’s already way too much. When it’s an older man, no one says a word… But when it’s a woman with a younger guy, suddenly it’s a problem!”
The 29-year-old did admit she has met Yamal. “I just spent a few days with Lamine, which is exactly what’s shown in the photos. And that’s it. I’m not going to say anything more, nor do I want to blow it up or make it into a scandal, because to me, it’s completely unnecessary.”
