Lamine Yamal is experiencing a series of exciting changes in his life, and how could he not? In just over a year, he has undergone a meteoric rise in his football career, transitioning from playing in the Juvenil A of the Barça team to becoming a key player in the first team and the Spanish national team, with which he can already boast of winning the Eurocup in Germany, being the best young player of this edition of the continental tournament.
Not only that, 'number 19' of the Catalan team has broken numerous records both at the club and national team level. Today, he is the top candidate to win the 2024 Kopa Trophy and is among the 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or, an impressive achievement considering he just turned 17 on July 13.
However, this whirlwind of changes has not only impacted his sports life, where he is increasingly establishing himself as a decisive footballer with exceptional talent. Now, he is also facing a series of personal changes that suggest a transition from youth to adulthood and maturity by taking on such significant challenges at a young age.
The New and Major Personal Decision Lamine Yamal Has Made
According to 'SPORT', one of the most recent decisions that Lamine Yamal has made on a personal level is to move out of La Masia. Specifically, he has chosen to live independently and leave behind his residence at the Oriol Tort training center, where he has lived since his early years in the lower categories of the Barcelona team. Despite having the option to stay until he is 18, he has decided to take this big step in his personal life, in agreement with his family and under the club's supervision.
Currently, it has been reported that the young prodigy has acquired an apartment very close to the facilities of the Blaugrana team, located in Sant Joan Despí, in the same town as the Joan Gamper Sports City. However, it is emphasized that he still eats at the club's facilities, using the apartment mainly for sleeping and also for his days off, when he usually receives visits from his cousin Moha and his childhood friend Sohaib.
