His trip to the south of
Italy
made headlines as he was
11 YEARS
his senior.
Yamal was seen hanging with Fati Vasquez on the beautiful island of Pantelleria, located in the south of Sicily.
The pair's hanging out sparked suggestions that they may be an item, despite their
DOUBLE-DIGIT
age difference.
Yamal, however, quickly put those rumours to bed.

Yamal's summer holiday will officially end on Monday when he reports for pre-season training

Yamal has racked up air miles galore during his epic summer of travel.
But he's chomping at the bit to get back to full fitness as he'll be one of Barca's first first-team players to report for pre-season training.
Monday's training session will be Yamal's first since the activation of his new bumper deal at the Nou Camp, which runs until the summer of 2031.
A special ceremony will be held at the club's offices to commemorate Yamal's pledging of his long-term
future
to the club and will be attended by his close family members.
The question is now will he inherit the No10 worn by so many Barca idols before him including Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho and, of course, Lionel Messi.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
