Missing out on his Clasico, like all of his Barcelona teammates, Lamine Yamal is nonetheless making headlines these days in Spain. Regularly singled out for his excesses – in speech as in attitude – the new crack of Iberian football is preparing to make the headlines for extra-sporting reasons once again.
According to the daily El Pais, the Blaugrana will treat himself to a villa in the Barcelona suburbs well known to the Spaniards. Neither more nor less than the former property of footballer Gerard Piqué and singer Shakira. A property based in Esplugues de Llobregat, a wealthy town located to the west of the capital of Catalonia.
“ The idea is to transform a family home into the home of an elite athletewhispers someone close to the player, relayed by the Catalan press this Monday. Lamine will benefit from the best security conditions there, there will be enough space for his friends to stay with him, and there will be a renovated gym so he can extend his working days. »
A showcase worth 11 million euros
A training tool in short, enhanced with pharaonic performances. On more than 700m² of living space and three levels, we find in the main building – supplemented by two annexed houses – no less than seven suites, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a sports hall, an arcade room, a wine cellar, a cinema room and a recording studio.
All in an ultra-secure area, a stone's throw from the Barça training center with Blaugranas such as Alejandro Balde and Ronaldo Araujo as neighbors. This represents a total investment of around 11 million euros. Barely nine months' salary for the 18-year-old prodigy.
