Despite the recent controversy involved, Lamine Yamal has no intention of changing her lifestyle.
The Barcelona winger attended the ceremony yesterday to celebrate his new contract at Camp No, and officially received the club’s No. 10 shirt – previously worn by Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Diego Maradona.
Four days after he held a grand party to celebrate his 18th birthday, which included hiring a dwarf as a recreational event, and rumored that he spent the holiday during the offseason, his senior was twelve.
The report shows that the Barcelona director is concerned about Yamal’s behavior, but yesterday, club chairman Joan Laporta smiled without a doubt, hugged the teenager while posing for the camera.

I love my life – Yamal
The player himself doesn’t seem to care about negative headlines.
Yamal was asked about his insistence on answering in Spanish after he was off-site in Catalonia to ensure it was not misleading. He said: “In the end, I worked at Barcelona, I played for Barcelona, but when I left Sports City, I enjoyed my life, that’s all.”
This is the first time Yamal has spoken since reports that it was the entertainment brought on the weekend.
The use of dwarves is particularly controversial. Government Minister Jesus Martin asked for an investigation, while the association with the Agonne zooplankton and other skeletal dysplasia (ADEE) condemned the incident as “unacceptable”.
However, there are Dwarf entertainers who support Yamal, who tells Racing 1: “No one disrespects us, let us work peacefully.
“I don’t understand why there is so much hype. We are average people who are committed to what we want in an absolutely legal way.”
Yamal joins Barcelona’s big earner
Yamal’s new deal is worth £325,000 a week, making him the highest-paid teenager in world football and reflects his importance to Barcelona.
During the 2024 European Cup, he helped Spain win the trophy with an impressive series of performances.
He supported it last season, growing into one of the most reliable players for Barcelona as the club claimed to be a domestic doubles.
