Barcelona’s Spanish winger Lamine Yamal has made himself a big star at the age of 17. He has been captivating everyone with his performances on the field. This time he has won hearts with his mentality and attitude. Yamal has decided to do an official photoshoot with his grandmother Fatima after signing a new contract with Barcelona. The star has postponed that time in anticipation.
Yamal had a great 2024-25 season for Barca. He scored 18 goals in all competitions, 25 for his teammates. He changed the character of the match on the field with another winger, Rafinha. In such a situation, Barca did not want to let Yamal go suddenly. The footballer and the club signed a new contract yesterday (Tuesday) on the basis of an agreement. The contract has been renewed until 2031 and Yamal’s release clause has been set at $ 1 billion. If Yamal wants to take any club, Barca will have to pay that amount. Which is 13 thousand 889 crore taka in Bangladeshi currency.
After the contract was completed, the official photo session of the player concerned took place on the same day. But Lamine Yamal has postponed the photo shoot until July because her grandmother will not be able to come. Fatima left her native Morocco and moved to Barcelona in 1990. At that time, Yamal’s father, Munir Nasrawi, was among her five children. Grandma Fatimah primarily raised Yamal, because her father Munir and mother Sheila Ibana separated when she was only three years old.
According to The Guardian, Yamal’s relationship with his grandmother is a little deeper than usual. Fatima lives in Rocafonda, a coastal working-class town north of Barcelona. Yamal tried to buy a house for himself after he became a star, but his grandmother refused. Yamal has not forgotten his childhood address. The Catalan star has repeatedly pointed to the number 304, which is the postal code for Rocafonda, in celebration of his goals.
Yamal grew up in football at Barcelona’s La Masia Academy. Where he received both education and football training at the same time. After joining the academy at the age of just 6, he made his debut in the Barcelona senior team in 2023. Analysts are already calling Yamal one of the best stars in the world. He has also become a worthy successor to Argentine superstar Lionel Messi.
Yamal made his debut as the youngest footballer in the UEFA European Championship last year. Then he scored his first goal for the Spanish team in the semi-final against France. Spain got into some trouble with him in that tournament held in Germany. Because according to local German law, no one under the age of 18 can be at work after 8 pm. Spain ignored threats such as fines for this. In addition, Yamal was nominated for the Ballon d’Or last year as the youngest footballer. Won the Kopa Trophy for the best emerging player award.
