Lamine Yamal's scandal in a nightclub with an Argentine singer ignites social media

Barcelona and Spanish national team star Lamine Yamal has sparked a new wave of controversy off the field, after Spanish media reports revealed his involvement in a new relationship with famous Argentine singer Nicky Nicole, following their appearance together at a private party inside a nightclub on the beach, where they were spotted exchanging kisses in a striking romantic scene.

The Spanish newspaper Marca reported, citing the journalist known for covering celebrity news, Javier de Hoyos, that the meeting between Yamal and Nicky Nicole occurred just days after his 18th birthday party, which caused a wide media uproar.

De Hoyos confirmed that the couple spent the night at a beach club on July 24, where they exchanged kisses in front of witnesses, and then left the nightclub together at 4 a.m.

He added that the relationship between Yamal and the Argentine singer began indirectly during his birthday party, as there was no direct relationship between them at that time, but clear signs of mutual flirting emerged.

He noted that Yamal set a picture of Nicky Nicole as the background on his mobile phone, a picture believed to have been taken by himself.

The story doesn't end here, as the famous Cuban singer Malu Trevejo, who has over 10 million followers on Instagram, entered the fray, commenting on a post by journalist de Hoyos with a shocking phrase saying: "Now I understand why he suddenly stopped following me," referring to Yamal abruptly cutting ties with her in favor of the Argentine singer.

This new development in Yamal's personal life has raised concerns for the management of FC Barcelona, especially as it comes just weeks after the controversy surrounding his 18th birthday celebration, where widespread criticism was directed at the party due to what was described as "exploitation of people with dwarfism," alongside inviting women with specific physical attributes for monetary compensation to attend, prompting Spanish authorities to open an official investigation into the matter.

As the spotlight intensifies on Yamal's behavior off the field, officials at the Catalan club fear that these actions may impact his sporting future, especially given the high expectations placed on him as a player expected to deliver a lot with Barcelona and the Spanish national team in the coming years.
