There are still three days to go before the FC Barcelona star comes of age, but some of his closest friends have already started giving him his first gifts. This is the case of El Alfa, a well-known Dominican singer with more than 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, who has commissioned a gold chain valued at half a million euros with the initials of Lamine Yamal crossed out: ‘The best piece for the best footballer in the world’.
It is a lavish piece from the Tajia Diamonds store, owned by Víctor Rodríguez, consisting of a gold link necklace adorned with small blue and red flowers (a nod to the colours of Barça) and a pendant with the footballer’s initials intertwined and sprinkled with small diamonds. Three numbers stand out on the clasp: 304, the postcode of Rocafonda, the neighbourhood in Mataró where the Barça player has lived all his childhood. ‘Around your neck, God bless you. Congratulations, legend,’ wrote the artist, also indicating the price of the gift: $400,000.
The post has generated a lot of criticism among Yamal’s followers, who have been very concerned in recent weeks about the young athlete’s excesses: ‘This looks bad… Another Neymar throwing his career away before his time,’ comments one. ‘For God’s sake, giving a brat an expensive chain… It’s going to end very badly,’ says another.

Mega party on a luxury yacht in Ibiza
Lamine Yamal will blow out 18 candles next Sunday, although the official celebration begins a day earlier. The young footballer has organised, together with his team, a lavish party aboard an exclusive yacht that will depart from Ibiza and sail for hours around the Mediterranean to avoid prying eyes.
Among the guests are several Barça players, artists such as Duki, Bizarrap, Ozuna, Bad Gyal and also people from the world of sport, such as Hamilton. In addition, they have hired more than a dozen girls to liven up the party, all of whom will have their expenses paid for the entire weekend and even their own credit card for their expenses.
F.C. Barcelona concerned
As we revealed a few days ago, the board of the sports club where Lamine Yamal plays is concerned about the young footballer’s off-field behaviour. They want to turn him into the new Messi of the pitch, and these distractions are not helping the cause.
Yamal often attends private parties at houses, organised with friends, other footballers, influencers and girls invited via social media. Informalia has had access to images of some of these gatherings and has even learned that both he and some of those in attendance have tried to prevent photos and details of these meetings from being shared. Barça is aware of these situations and is therefore concerned. They understand that he is 17 years old and may be attracted to the same things as any young person his age. However, he must be professional and behave like an elite player, where rest and discipline are a fundamental part of physical performance. The club is concerned that these parties cannot always be kept secret and that, at any time, compromising information or images could come to light. We will see if his 18th birthday party does not cross the line.
