Amidst being one of the most talked-about names at the 2026 World Cup , young striker Lamine Yamal has unexpectedly become the focus of an off-field story.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Corona, Yamal is said to have had a romantic relationship with Italian model Laura Corti. The two first met during a holiday in Dubai and continued to stay in contact after returning to Barcelona.
The source also claims the couple currently have a secret daughter, approximately two years old. According to Corona, after learning about the child’s existence, Yamal proactively contacted Laura Corti.
According to the Italian journalist, to avoid negative public reactions and potential legal risks, the two parties signed a financial agreement to ensure that the entire affair would remain confidential until now.
The information spread like wildfire on social media, especially since Yamal is only 18 years old and is a great hope for the Spanish national team at the 2026 World Cup.
On platform X, many fans expressed surprise at the rumor. One account commented: “If it’s true, this could affect his career.” Another wrote: “He’s only 18 years old and there are rumors of him having a 2-year-old child, it’s truly shocking.”
However, this information remains unverified. Neither Yamal nor Laura Corti have yet issued any official response regarding the incident.
Therefore, amidst the excitement of the 2026 World Cup, the story about the young Spanish star remains more of a curious rumor on social media than a confirmed fact.
