Is Lamine Yamal losing control? Officially sidelined with a pubic injury and exempt from Spain duty, the 18-year-old wonderkid didn’t stay in Barcelona to recover… Instead, he flew off to Croatia with his girlfriend. Jet, beaches, holiday vibes — all over social media. And inside Barça, it sparked rage.
According to El Nacional, several senior players believe Yamal has changed since taking the No.10. A more casual attitude in training, constant media exposure, paparazzi everywhere… Some in the locker room are whispering one word: diva.
Even coach Hansi Flick is furious. He expected his jewel to stay at the training center and recover. Instead? He found him on Instagram… enjoying the Adriatic coast.
Club blames his entourage
Inside the boardroom, fingers are pointing at one man — Mounir Nasraoui, Yamal’s father. Too emotional, too involved, not enough guidance, they say. Barça knows it’s sitting on a generational talent. But one sentence is now echoing at the Camp Nou: The talent is huge… but the attitude must follow.
Can Barça still control him?
Financially broken and with PSG and Saudi Arabia circling, Barça has very little leverage left. They can talk about discipline — but can they actually stop Yamal, if he decides to go full superstar mode?
The question is no longer just football. It’s ego, entourage… and a ticking time bomb.
