Fati Vasquez, a Spanish influencer, has issued a statement following her encounter with Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal during a holiday, despite the 12-year age difference between the two.
Yamal is presently taking a break from football following Barcelona’s failure to qualify for the Club World Cup.
Following a remarkable individual season, which included his first La Liga title, the 18-year-old is among the top contenders for the 2025 Ballon d’Or award.
Earlier this week, photographs of Yamal enjoying time on vacation with 29-year-old Vasquez, a Spanish influencer and model, went viral.
The duo shared photographs from the same location in Italy and were observed riding a jet ski together.
Yamal, according to Spanish gossip columnist Javi de Hoyos, “categorically denies that he is with her; he says they have nothing going on.” He also claimed that the Barca forward did not travel to this vacation destination alone, but rather with other Barca team members.
De Hoyos subsequently asserted that Vasquez “has a relationship with an individual at Barca or is a friend of another teammate.”
Vasquez has received death threats and abuse on her personal Instagram profile, which has nearly 500,000 followers, since the photos were released.
The model has been compelled to issue a public statement, in addition to clarifying that she is 29 years old, as opposed to the previously reported 30.
She commenced, “I am being subjected to an unjust amount of pressure.” “First and foremost, I am 29 years old; I have not yet reached the age of 30.” I have not committed any infractions; I have not caused any harm to anyone.
“This is having a profound impact on my family, and I really do not wish for it to escalate any further.” It is already excessive to discuss death threats, slander, and being referred to as a pedophile.
“No one speaks when it is an older man.” However, the situation becomes problematic when a woman is involved with a young male.
“I have recently spent a few days with Lamine, and the photographs accurately depict our interaction.” That concludes the matter. I will refrain from further commenting, nor do I intend to escalate the situation or turn it into a scandal, as I believe it is entirely superfluous.
