It took just 1 season for Lamine Yamal to become a household name in Spain. The 16-year-old dazzled for Barcelona and has earned himself a call-up to Euro 2024. There have already been comparisons with Lionel Messi. But, his prodigious talent is not the only factor in the youngster’s rapid rise.

The star’s family has played a pivotal role in his becoming a soccer player. They recognized his passion from a young age and enrolled him at La Masia at the age of 7. Today, while the whole of Spain is cherishing the gift of Lamine Yamal, very little is known about the unsung heroes. Hence, today we go in-depth regarding the family of La Liga’s most exciting talent.

The family that shaped Lamine Yamal’s journey to stardom

Mounir Nasraoui assumed the role of a father and a guide in Lamine Yamal’s life. Nasraoui had a deep passion for soccer and ensured that his son received the best training possible. With the teenager, not having an official agent, it could be possible that his father might be fulfilling the role. Yamal’s dad is also quite active on Instagram, where he regularly posts about the teenager’s achievements.

Sheila Ebana, mother of Lamine Yamal always presents a cheerful face in pictures. Perhaps, this might be where Yamal got his infectious smile. Sheila hails from Guinea and her son was eligible to represent the country. Thinking of it, Spain is lucky to have the prodigy considering he could have represented Morocco as well (Mounir’s birthplace). Besides Yamal, Sheila has a younger son named Keyne and a daughter called Baraa Yamal.

Lamine Yamal is already an Instagram sensation with over 7 million followers. He is a big hit among fans and a heartthrob for many. But, has anyone obtained the key to Yamal’s heart? Let’s find out below.

All about the Barcelona sensation’s love life

Right now, there is no concrete information regarding Lamine Yamal being in a relationship. Perhaps, the youngster might be prioritizing his love for the game over a girlfriend. After all, at 16, the youngster has his whole life ahead of him. Interestingly, he has already revealed the age at which he is planning to get married!

Recently, in an interview with Youtuber xBuyer, the attacker spilled the beans. Yamal said, “I’m certain. I plan to get married when I’m 26 years old.” With 10 years to go, it pretty much confirms that Yamal is in no hurry for a girlfriend. But, he is no stranger to fangirl approaches. He said, “Recently, a girl approached me in an elevator, asked for a photo, and then said, ‘Give me your phone number, I need it.” Not the most pleasant encounter Yamal would have encountered in his life.
