Beyond the soap‑opera swirl, Yamal’s focus remains resolutely football‑first.
His summer holiday followed a dazzling 2024/25 campaign, during which he claimed both La Liga and Copa del Rey titles, and has already agreed to a bumper new deal at Barcelona.
Yamal’s last known relationship was with Alex Padilla.
After the pair called it quits earlier this year, he was briefly linked to an Italian influencer Anna Gegnoso, but nothing sufficed from there too.
