Fans believe they’ve identified Lamine Yamal’s new girlfriend after he was seen shopping with star Anna Gegnoso. The teenage sensation has skyrocketed to over the past year, shining for Barcelona and Spain during Euro 2024, and recently winning the 2024 Golden Boy award.

Yamal’s romantic life has also garnered attention; he was previously linked with Barcelona influencer Alex Padilla before their breakup last summer. Now, fans speculate that Gegnoso, 19, is his latest love interest after spotting them together in La Roca village, Barcelona, just days after Yamal returned from injury sustained during Barca’s 2-1 loss to Las Palmas.

Reports indicate that Gegnoso flew from Italy to support Yamal during the match, accompanied by her influencer friend Fabiola Baglieri. While not as famous as Yamal, Gegnoso has a substantial social media presence, with 595,000 Instagram followers and 835,000 on.

Earlier this summer, Yamal unfollowed Padilla on social media following a viral video showing her seemingly sitting on another boy’s lap during an Instagram live, which fueled speculation about their relationship status.

After Spain’s victory at Euro 2024, where Yamal was a standout player and received the Young Player of the Tournament award, he and Padilla celebrated together with teammates and family on the Berlin pitch. Padilla, who has 1.7 million followers, attended several La Roja group stage matches and was often seen with Yamal’s family before their split.

Yamal made headlines this month by winning the Golden Boy Award, which recognizes the top young player in Europe. This prestigious honor has previously been awarded to football legends like Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe. Despite strong competition from players like Adam Wharton and Kobbie Mainoo, Yamal stood out for his contributions to Spain’s European Championship success this summer.
