Barcelona's 17-year-old superstar is enjoying some well-deserved time off after winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey last season. Yet his holiday has made waves in Spain with Mundo Deportivo reporting his social media activity has shown he was spending his vacation with 30-year-old Spanish influencer Fati Vazquez. Several photos posted by both on Instagram appeared to show them at the same location at around the same time.
Fati Vazquez had now issued a statement on social media amid talk of a fling with the Barca teen that has drawn criticism from some fans. She posted: "️It’s sad to see how some people carry so much darkness inside that they get to wish d*#th on someone they don’t even know. What others project speaks more about them than me. I choose to live with purpose, continue to grow and surround myself with light. To those who wish me ev*l, I wish them healing, because no one who is well with himself wishes to destroy another."
Yamal has also denied being in any kind of relationship with Vazquez despite the social media activity fuelling all sorts of rumours about the two stars. According to Sport, gossip expert Javi de Hoyos contacted the teenager to ask about the speculation and was told Yamal "categorically denies" all the talk and insisted "they have nothing going on." De Hoyos instead says that Vaquez "may have something going on with someone else at Barca."
