    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Spain international is under investigation for his birthday celebrations, at a time when many have scrutinised his links to OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez - who is 12 years his senior - after they were seen on holiday together. Yamal is back in Barca pre-season training but the club will hope the off-field matters won't affect him on the football pitch next season. The youngster has signed a new contract running until 2031, when he will still be just 24.

    Yamal's lavish 'mafia-themed' event on Sunday near Barcelona reportedly had around 200 guests, with team-mates Robert Lewandowski, Alejandro Balde, and Gavi among the attendees.
