Lamine Yamal has sparked dating rumours with an Italian model and actress after the pair were spotted shopping together.
Lamine Yamal has continued to capture hearts both on and off the pitch, and it seems his personal life is heating up once again.
The 17-year-old winger, who shone brightly for Spain during Euro 2024 and recently claimed the prestigious Golden Boy award, is rumoured to have moved on from his split with Alex Padilla, a Barcelona-based student.
Reports suggest Yamal is now romantically linked to Anna Gegnoso, a 19-year-old Italian model and actress with a significant social media following.
Anna, who boasts an impressive 595,000 Instagram followers and 835,000 on TikTok, is said to be a mutual friend of Yamal and Spanish teammate Nico Williams.
The pair reportedly began speaking discreetly over the past few months, and their connection seems to be growing stronger as they continue to engage each others posts on social media.
This weekend, Anna, along with her influencer friend Fabiola Baglieri, is rumoured to have flown from Italy to support Yamal as he made his return from injury in Barcelona’s match against Las Palmas on Saturday, November 30.
Despite the 2-1 defeat for the Blaugrana at the Gran Canaria Stadium, Anna’s presence did not go unnoticed, and hours later, footage emerged of her shopping in Barcelona’s La Roca Village with Yamal, his cousin Abde, and other members of his inner circle.
Lamine Yamal and Anna Gegnoso’s rumoured relationship
While neither Yamal nor Gegnoso has confirmed their relationship, there are rumours that the Kopa Trophy winner is "really fond of Anna" but wants to take things slow.
Yamal’s love life first made headlines during the summer when his relationship with Alex Padilla ended abruptly, allegedly sparked by a viral video that led the football star to unfollow Padilla on social media.
Pulse Sports earlier reported that Padilla is already feeling the effect of her breakup from the Spanish sensation, losing over 100,000 followers on her TikTok page, months after they parted ways.
As for his budding romance with Anna, fans are eagerly watching for more clues about their potential relationship.
