The Spain international is under investigation for his birthday celebrations, at a time when many have scrutinised his links to OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez – who is 12 years his senior – after they were seen on holiday together. Yamal is back in Barca pre-season training but the club will hope the off-field matters won't affect him on the football pitch next season. The youngster has signed a new contract running until 2031, when he will still be just 24.
