Lamine Yamal’s mother, Sheila Ebana, shared a proud moment on Instagram after spotting her son’s Adidas photos in a store. She first posted a story showing Yamal’s pictures displayed in the Adidas shop. Lamine then reshared the post, and his mother shared it again, adding a heartfelt message in Spanish:
“I would like that when my mother goes to a shopping center or a store, she comes across an ad of mine 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Don’t stop dreaming!”
Yamal, who is just a teenager, signed a 10-year contract with Adidas in February 2024. The deal, worth 3.2 million euros per year, allows him to represent the brand’s “X Crazyfast” line. The partnership has made him one of the youngest athletes with such a long-term sponsorship.

Sheila Ebana, born in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, works as a waitress and has recently gained media attention. She has attended major events with Yamal, including the Ballon d’Or ceremony and a gala in London. Her social media following has grown to over 350,000. She has also appeared as a guest at exclusive events, showing her growing public presence.
Sheila has always supported her son’s career, even during her long working hours. Yamal often calls her his “queen” and says he owes his success to her sacrifices. This touching exchange on Instagram reflects both pride and humility in their journey.
PSG reportedly ready to break transfer record for Barcelona star Lamine Yamal
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly preparing a world-record offer to sign Barcelona star Lamine Yamal. According to a report from Defensa Central, PSG are willing to pay €230 million (£200 million) for the 18-year-old winger. This would surpass Neymar’s €222 million transfer from Barcelona to PSG in 2017.
Yamal has quickly become one of the brightest talents in football. He helped Spain win the European Championship and recorded 65 goal contributions for Barcelona. The teenager also won the 2025 Kopa Trophy and finished second in Ballon d’Or voting behind Ousmane Dembele.
Barcelona face a difficult decision, as Yamal’s release clause stands at €1 billion (£870 million). However, PSG’s interest and financial power make the situation serious. Reports suggest Yamal is very happy at Barcelona and does not wish to leave. Still, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi reportedly plans to pursue him until the end.
