The 17-year-old Barcelona footballer, Lamine Yamal’s Sicily vacation included part of the summer vacation with Fati Vazquez. Vazquez is a 29-year-old model and content creator on OnlyFans. Photos of them together on a boat, jet ski, and by the pool were published by Spanish media, covered in our previous column. These photos led to speculation about a possible relationship between the two.
Vazquez talked about Lamine Yamal’s Sicily Vacation during an interview with Spanish TV show Y ahora Sonsoles. She said she had no financial interest in Yamal and was not using his fame.
“I do not have and have never had a financial interest in this story. I’ve been independent woman since I was 18,” Vazquez said, via Goal. “I have been working (as an influencer for) more than 10 years, long before Lamine was a public figure.”
Vazquez later said she was surprised to learn that during Lamine Yamal’s Sicily vacation there was another girl just hours before she arrived.
“During my stay, I discovered that another girl had been there just before me and that, for a matter of hours, we did not get to coincide,” Vazquez said, via Goal. This information took me by surprise, like anyone else who was in a similar situation.”
Fati Vazquez said people think she noticed Lamine only because he is famous. She added that if she wasn’t well-known, he might not have noticed her either. Well, that a logical case from her end.
Meanwhile, if we look at Yamal’s response, he has said that he is not in a relationship with Vazquez. According to journalist Javi de Hoyos, who clarified things related to Lamine Yamal’s Sicily vacation. Yamal has said they “have nothing going on.”

Lamine Yamal will wear Barcelona’s number 10 shirt
Next season, Lamine Yamal will wear Barcelona’s number 10 shirt. This is the same number Lionel Messi wore. The shirt will be available in stores on July 2. This is just before Yamal’s 18th birthday. Barcelona’s preseason training also starts on the same day.
The club believes Yamal is their future star. He has already won La Liga with Barcelona. He also helped Spain win the European Championship. Many people have compared him to Messi. Mark van Bommel said Yamal is ahead of Messi at the same age. But he also said it is hard to stay at the top for many years.
Yamal spoke about the new shirt number in an interview.
“Numbers don’t score goals,” Yamal said, showing that he wants to stay focused on playing well.
He is not thinking too much about the attention or pressure.
Coach Hansi Flick sees Yamal as an important player. He wants to build the team around him in the future. The club hopes Yamal will lead the team for many years. Yamal seems calm and ready for the new season.
Yamal is not trying to be the next Messi. He wants to follow his own path. With hard work and focus, he can grow into a key player for Barcelona. But for now, he is taking things step by step.
