Adult Star Claudia Bavel Exposes Private Message from Lamine Yamal

• The spotlight on Lamine Yamal has drifted off the pitch and not for reasons fans would celebrate
• The Barcelona wonderkid is currently at the centre of multiple personal controversies
• Despite the noise, he's making the most of his holiday break after a demanding 2024/25 season

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is once again making headlines off the pitch after Spanish adult film actress Claudia Bavel went public with alleged private messages between the two.

This comes just days after the 17-year-old denied rumours of a relationship with another older woman, Fati Vazquez.

Yamal, who burst onto the scene at just 15 under Xavi Hernandez, has cemented his place in both the Barcelona first team and the Spanish national squad.

His breakout season earned him a lucrative six-year contract reportedly worth €30 million in gross salary, making him the highest-paid teenager in football.

Following his impressive performance at the UEFA Nations League finals, Yamal embarked on a holiday that quickly turned controversial.

His appearance with 29-year-old former flight attendant Fati Vazquez sparked a wave of criticism and even led to the woman receiving death threats.

Yamal later denied any romantic involvement with her, suggesting she may have connections with another Barcelona player.

Now, another woman, also 29, has stepped forward. Claudia Bavel, an adult film actress, claimed that Yamal initiated contact and showed interest in her.

During a televised appearance via Tribuna, Bavel presented what she says are WhatsApp messages between her and the young star, asserting that he pursued her and not the other way around.

"Lamine said to me: 'Come to my house, I have heating.'"

"I told him: 'It would be too much because I'm about 11 years older than you, don't you think?'"

"Lamine said: 'No, it's perfect!'"

I said: 'If I get arrested, you get me out of jail, hahaha!'" - "Lamine replied: 'No, I give you my word.'

"Lamine told me to stop the nonsense and not to think about my age... I was waiting for him to turn 18".

Yamal denies trying to meet adult film actress

Meanwhile, Yamal has addressed the rumours involving Bavel after the adult film star claimed he sent her “thousands of messages” asking to meet.

The Barcelona youngster denied the allegations, insisting he had “never seen her” and branding her claims “a complete lie,” adding that he was the one who turned her down.

Despite the back-and-forth, both parties agree that nothing romantic occurred between them, with Yamal still a minor until his 18th birthday in July.

Claudia Bavel hits back at Yamal again

Bavel responded to Yamal’s version of events, insisting that it was actually the teenage star who reached out first and expressed interest in meeting.

She also rejected Yamal’s claim that they’ve never met, stating that they’ve crossed paths multiple times at social gatherings.

Speaking on her Instagram story, Bavel said via Daily Mail:

“I have chosen not to speak publicly on this matter in 2025. However, since Lamine Yamal mentioned our alleged relationship on TardeAR, I find it appropriate to share my version with clarity and respect. He claims to live with his mother, but in reality lives alone. He says he rejected me, when he was the one who sought my contact and insisted on meeting. He denies we’ve met, despite crossing paths at several social events. I respectfully ask that offensive and defamatory messages stop.

"I have NEVER had any relationship with a minor, never arranged a meeting, and there was never any plan involving fame or money. The only thing we agree on is that no meeting or situation ever happened between us. Behind the headlines and public opinion, there are people. Out of respect, I ask for understanding and restraint."

Yamal partying with Neymar in Brazil

It is likely this online feud may continue to intensify as both parties swap contrasting versions of the origin of their contact.

Yamal turns 18 on July 13, and who knows the further stories which could surface in the coming months if this latest drama is anything to go by.

The Spanish winger paid a visit to Neymar while enjoying his holiday in Brazil.

The young Barcelona star, who has often described the Brazilian as his "idol," met him at his home in Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro.

The two bonded over a game of footvolley, exchanged shirts, and spent time relaxing by the pool.
