Lamine Yamal buys Shakira and Piqué's former home

Lamine Yamal continues to make headlines, on and off the field. After the media frenzy that followed the brawl between Madrid and Barcelona players during Real Madrid’s victory at the Santiago Bernabéu (2-1), and the criticism sparked by his jabs against the Madrid team during a Kings League event, Lamine Yamal is reportedly about to acquire Shakira and Piqué’s mansion, reports El Pais.

The house is located in Esplugues de Llobregat, in the suburbs of Barcelona, just steps away from Barça’s training center. The choice of this residence is not insignificant. Alejandro Balde and Ronald Araújo, Yamal’s teammates at Barça, as well as former Barcelona legends like Andrés Iniesta, live in the same neighborhood. According to the entourage of the 18-year-old player, the steps taken for nearly four months to acquire this property of around 2,000 square meters are in the process of being finalized.

For the close circle of the Barcelona striker, the goal is to find a framework for the Moroccan-born prodigy that offers all the necessary security guarantees in order to allow him to regain a little more serenity and focus on his career.

Yamal has been suffering from pubic pain for several weeks, which is weighing on his performance. The young player is also facing strong criticism for his behavior off the field. His entourage explains that this new house will have a renovated gym where he can extend his training, supervised by a physical trainer and a physiotherapist, under the direction of Julio Tous, head of the physical department of FC Barcelona.
