Her name is Anna Gegnoso and she is a 19-year-old Italian born in Milan. She works as a model and has stolen Lamine Yamal's heart.
She is his new love after breaking up with his long-time girlfriend, Alex Padilla, last summer after the Euro Cup.
Anna Gegnoso: a Friend More Than a Friend
Alex Padilla's was a teenage love affair. The current one, with Anna Gegnoso, is an adult relationship between a VIP and a successful influencer.
This summer, at the age of 17, Lamine Yamal spent his holidays like any adult, like any VIP adult, naturally.
He travelled by boat around the Greek islands and enjoyed the night in Marbella with his friend Nico Williams and other people who are part of his closest circle.
He met many women. Even though there were countless proposals, he ignored all of them. Until today.
A video captured in La Roca Village confirms that there's something more to his relationship with Anna Gegnoso. They were also seen strolling around the city of Barcelona, very close to Sagrada Familia, with an Italian friend of Anna's. They travelled to Barcelona to see Lamine in action after his injury against Las Palmas.
Just a Fling?
Apart from her modelling career, Anna Gegnoso is an influencer and currently has 800,000 followers on TikTok. Of course, one of them is Lamine Yamal, who is quick to like her posts.
It was on this network that Javier Hoyos posted a video of Lamine Yamal and Anna Gegnoso walking together through La Roca Village. Rumors about their relationship have skyrocketed.
Hoyos refers to their relationship as a "fling" because he doesn't see the Barça player tied to a woman at this stage of his life.
"He's at a phase where he's going out to party, he's hanging out with girls. And he's at a phase where he's going out and having fun," he said.
Anna Gegnoso, on the other hand, likes to appear in her posts wearing tiny bikinis that leave very little to the imagination. That explains her success on social media.
