Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal finds himself embroiled in fresh controversy following a controversial trip to Milan with Italian model Anna Gegnoso mere days after his team’s El Clásico defeat. The 18-year-old winger’s off-pitch activities have again drawn scrutiny from club officials.
Milan Trip Details Emerge
Renowned Spanish paparazzo Jordi Martín reports Yamal flew to Italy with friends last week. The Barcelona talent allegedly attended a private event with Gegnoso before spending the night at Milan’s exclusive Armani Hotel. This outing apparently caused distress to Yamal’s girlfriend, Argentine singer Nicki Nicole.
Martín claims Yamal’s group actively tried blocking media coverage during the Milan excursion. Persistent rumors suggest the footballer and model share romantic history predating his current relationship.
Barcelona’s Growing Frustration
Barcelona leadership reportedly expresses mounting frustration with Yamal’s behavior. Club officials fear his escalating fame threatens his football focus. Martín stated, “Barcelona’s leadership is running out of patience. They believe Yamal is allowing distractions to interfere with his game.”
The timing exacerbates concerns – coming immediately after Yamal’s underwhelming performance against Real Madrid. Instead of analyzing his football, discussions center on off-pitch drama.
Pattern of Controversial Behavior
This marks Yamal’s second recent controversy. Weeks earlier, while injured, he vacationed in Croatia with Nicole. He shared holiday photos online. This drew criticism from fans and club management alike.
Club insiders increasingly worry about Yamal’s trajectory. They fear continuous distractions could derail the young star’s development. His off-pitch actions overshadow his footballing talent.
