Lamine Yamal is currently recovering from a torn hamstring in his left leg, an injury he picked up on April 22. That has ruled him out of the final stretch of Barcelona’s season, but he's continuing conservative treatment to be fully fit again for the 2026 World Cup. Away from the pitch, though, attention has shifted to his private life, with growing speculation in Spain linking him to influencer Ines Garcia.
There is still no official confirmation from either side, but the rumours have picked up pace. Spanish media reports, social media clues, and a video circulating online have all added fuel to the story, suggesting the pair may be closer than they appear publicly.
The rumours around Lamine Yamal and Ines Garcia started building a few weeks ago.
The first wave came after reports from Barcelona suggested the pair had been seen together at the exclusive Cúpula del Garraf restaurant with Barcelona teammate Fermín López and his girlfriend, before getting into a van.
Then, about three weeks later, the story picked up again, this time from Greece. Images began circulating showing Lamine Yamal and Ines Garcia appearing together, reportedly hand in hand.
Who Is Ines Garcia? The Influencer Who Is Linked to Lamine Yamal
Inés García is a Spanish influencer from Seville who has suddenly found herself at the centre of attention because of her alleged connection with Lamine Yamal. She shares lifestyle content on Instagram and has also been seen at cultural events such as the Seville April Fair.
Much of the speculation has been driven by small online details. Reports suggest that Yamal and Ines Garcia follow each other on social media and have interacted with each other’s post.
The story also gained traction after a moment during a Kings League livestream, when a friend of Yamal casually mentioned “Ines,” something fans quickly linked back to Garcia. Journalist Javi Hoyos has also referenced sightings and ongoing discussion around the pair, although media outlets continue to stress that nothing has been confirmed.
Spanish outlets such as MARCA and Mundo Deportivo have covered the rumours, but they continue to present them as developing speculation rather than confirmed news. Some reports have also suggested that people close to Yamal have denied that anything official is happening for now.
The timing has also added context, coming shortly after Yamal’s reported split from Argentine singer Nicki Nicole earlier in the season. Since then, he has not confirmed any new relationship publicly.
For now, there is still no official confirmation that Lamine Yamal and Ines Garcia are dating.
