In modern football, social media gestures can speak just as loudly as goals on the pitch. That’s the case with Lamine Yamal, the FC Barcelona wonderkid, who has sparked speculation about his private life after a notable change to his Instagram account.

What Did Lamine Yamal Do on Instagram?

The 18-year-old Barcelona forward has deleted every photo featuring him alongside Argentine singer Nicki Nicole, while also removing his profile picture. His account now only displays his bio — with the “LY10” tag and the phrase “God bless me”. The move instantly fueled rumors that his relationship with the artist may have cooled down, just days after it had been made public.

How Did Their Relationship Begin?

Rumors of a romance between Yamal and Nicki Nicole began surfacing earlier this summer. The pair were spotted together at several events, including the Barcelona star’s birthday, a night out in Ibiza, and matches at the Camp Nou, where Nicki Nicole was seen wearing his shirt. The relationship appeared official on August 25, when Yamal posted a romantic photo to celebrate the singer’s 25th birthday, complete with roses, balloons, and a cake — a gesture that many interpreted as confirmation of their bond.

What Are Media Outlets Saying About the Split?

So far, there has been no official statement from either party. However, Yamal’s sudden digital cleanup has only intensified speculation of a breakup. While there are no signs of conflict, the silence on social media has raised eyebrows among fans and media alike.
