Lamine Yamal Linked to Piqué–Shakira Mansion

Barcelona 18-year-old Lamine Yamal is reportedly linked to the former Gerard Piqué–Shakira mansion in Ciutat Diagonal, Esplugues de Llobregat. The 2012-built complex spans roughly 3,800 sq m and originally comprised three houses, but one has sold and the remaining property is now reported to be valued at about €11 million (it was previously listed near €14 million). Amenities reported include indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, a tennis court and a recording studio. Spanish outlets differ on the deal's status: some say Yamal has placed a deposit or completed the purchase through Meraki Capital, while others say he is preparing to buy and will carry out extensive renovations. He is said to plan converting the estate into a high-performance athlete residence with a private gym, physiotherapy area, personal trainer and upgraded security.
