Lamine Yamal has reportedly chartered a private jet to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony in London alongside his family and close friends, choosing to travel with his inner circle rather than join Barcelona’s official delegation.

The 19-year-old winger will be among the main attractions at Monday’s gala, where he will have the opportunity to claim football’s most prestigious individual award after finishing second in the previous vote.

According to Víctor Navarro , Yamal has made the arrangements so the people who have supported him throughout his rise can share the occasion with him.

Lamine chooses family and friends for Ballon d’Or trip

Yamal’s decision to travel privately with his close circle means he will not make the journey to London alongside Barcelona’s official representatives.

Instead, the forward has organised his own travel plans to ensure family and friends can accompany him to the ceremony.

The Barcelona star has become one of the biggest names in world football despite his age, with his performances for club and country putting him in contention for major individual honours.

Monday’s event will provide another opportunity for the winger to add to his growing list of achievements.

For Yamal, the occasion is not just about whether he wins the Ballon d’Or .

Bringing his closest supporters to London allows them to experience the ceremony together after playing a role in his development and career so far.

Lamine repeats preparations from previous ceremony

Notably, this is not the first time Yamal has made special arrangements around the Ballon d’Or.

At the previous ceremony in Paris, he had reportedly organised a celebration with friends and family in anticipation of winning the award.

That night ultimately belonged to Ousmane Dembele, who claimed the Ballon d’Or, while Yamal finished second in the voting.

The Barcelona forward did, however, collect the Kopa Trophy, recognising him as the best young player.

The experience means Yamal returns to the ceremony with an established reputation among the leading figures in the sport.

His continued development and importance to Barcelona have kept him in the conversation for football’s biggest individual prizes, although the final result will depend on the voting.
