He came only four days after celebrating his 18th birthday with a sumptuous party which included the hiring of dwarfs as an entertainment when he was rumor that he spent his dead on vacation with a unique star of 12 years his senior.
Reports suggested that the directors of Barça were concerned about Yamal’s conduct, but there was little sign yesterday while a radiant Joan Laporta, the club president, adopted the teenager while posing for the cameras.

I appreciate my life – Yamal
And the player himself did not seem concerned about the negative titles.
Having been questioned about his activities outside the field in Catalan, Yamal insisted to respond in Spanish to ensure that there was no bad translation. He said: “In the end, I work for Barça, I play for Barça, but when I am outside the sports city, I appreciate my life and that’s it.”
It was the first time that Yamal had been talking since reports appeared for the first time concerning the entertainment brought for his party this weekend.
The use of dwarfs was particularly controversial. The Minister of the Government Jesus Martin demanded an investigation while the Association of Persons with Achondroplasia and other skeletal dysplasia (ADEE) condemned the incident as “unacceptable”.
One of the artists with nanism supported Yamal, however, saying to Rac1: “No one has lacked respect, lets us work in peace.
“I don’t understand why there is so much overhaul. We are normal people who dedicate us to what we want in an absolutely legal way. ”
Yamal joins the great wages of Barcelona Squad
The New Deal of Yamal, worth £ 325,000 per week, makes him the best paid teenager in world football and reflects his importance for Barça.
He emerged on the world scene during Euro 2024 with a series of impressive performances to help Spain win the trophy.
And he supported it last season, becoming one of the most reliable players on the Barça team while the club claimed a double servant.
