"According to Khel Now, Yamal has stopped signing shirts and autographs. You may think this is down to arrogance, but having signed an exclusive deal regarding his signature, Yamal's autograph is now only available through official paid channels. The teenager doesn't sign autographs anymore at Barca's training ground, following advice from his management, leaving hundreds of children who idolise him dissapointed each day."
"Yamal has burst onto the scene over the last two years, catching the eye week after week with his displays for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, becoming one of the youngest-ever players to win the European Championships back in 2024. At 18, he is tipped to become one of the shining stars of the next generation, with his dazzling footwork and carefree dribbling abilities a nightmare for opposition defenders to deal with."
Lamine Yamal rose rapidly at Barcelona and with the Spanish national team, winning the 2024 European Championships and earning acclaim for dribbling and technical skill. At 18, he has stopped signing shirts and autographs at the club training ground after guidance from his management. His signature has been placed under an exclusive commercial arrangement, meaning autographs are now distributed through paid official channels and merchandise rather than given freely. Hundreds of young supporters who previously sought spontaneous signatures have been left disappointed. The commercialisation converts the autograph into a monetized asset and raises questions about fan access.
