Lamine Yamal issues relationship update after being spotted on holiday with OnlyFans model 13 years his senior

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has delivered an update on his relationship status after being spotted on holiday with a model 13 years his senior.

During the 24/25 season, Yamal made headlines after producing a series of impressive performances.

In total, the 17-year-old provided 18 goals and 25 assists across all competitions for Barcelona.

As a result, the Spanish international is firmly in the running to win the Ballon d'Or award.

Recently, during the off-season, Yamal made headlines again as he was spotted on holiday with an OnlyFans model 13 years his senior.

Images of the two on a jet-ski went viral, while both posted similar pictures from the same location in Italy - appearing to go on a boat trip, fly in a helicopter and spend time around the pool.

Fans were quick to put two and two together, and rumours of the pair being in a relationship spread extremely quickly.

On Sunday evening, the Barcelona youngster took to social media and appeared to deliver an update on his relationship status.

Posting a series of pictures from a recent trip to Brazil, where he was joined by Neymar, Yamal wrote in the caption: "Single and happy, this is Brazil!!!"

The model in question, Fati Vazquez, issued her own statement after facing backlash last week.

She said: "I'm getting slammed, and it feels unfair. First of all, I'm 29, I haven't even turned 30 yet. I haven't done anything wrong; I haven't hurt anyone.

"This is affecting my family deeply, and honestly, I don't want it to escalate further. We're talking about death threats, being called a pedophile, insults... it's already way too much."

Vazquez added: "When it's an older man, no-one says a word... But when it's a woman with a young guy, suddenly it's a problem!

"I just spent a few days with Lamine, which is exactly what's shown in the photos. And that's it. I'm not going to say anything more, nor do I want to blow it up or make it into a scandal, because to me, it's completely unnecessary."
