Shakira ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’, New York, USA – 20 Jul 2026
For years, it was the private world of Shakira and Gerard Piqué, the place where she had her own recording studio and where their family lived near Barcelona. Today, the mansion has a new owner: Lamine Yamal, the young soccer star of FC Barcelona, who is now reshaping it to his taste.
In short
- Lamine Yamal now owns the former Barcelona-area mansion of Shakira and Gerard Piqué, according to the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo.
- Spanish-language media widely report that the property changed hands for around €11 million.
- The 19-year-old soccer star is renovating it, and still has Shakira’s former recording studio under his roof.
A house designed for a power couple
The mansion sits in Ciutat Diagonal, an exclusive and very private residential area of Esplugues de Llobregat, on the outskirts of Barcelona. According to El Tiempo, it was originally designed in 2012 by architect Mireia Admetller, in a minimalist, modern style with large windows and wood finishes.
It is a vast property: around 3,800 square meters spread over three main floors and two basement levels.
What’s inside
The list of features reads like a dream for an athlete, and for a pop star:
- A private soccer field and a padel court.
- A full gym, plus indoor and outdoor pools.
- A video game room, a wine cellar, terraces and gardens.
- Six bedrooms and five bathrooms, and a kitchen built around a central island.
- The former recording studio Shakira used during her years in Spain.
From Shakira and Piqué to Lamine Yamal
The house was the family home of Shakira and Piqué, who separated in 2022, the same year the former Barcelona defender retired from soccer. The singer later moved to Miami with their two sons, Milan and Sasha.
Its new owner is Lamine Yamal, the FC Barcelona winger who became a European champion with Spain in 2024. Spanish-language outlets such as El Diario NY, El Cronista and Excélsior reported the purchase at around €11 million, though at least one sports outlet mentioned a higher figure.
A home being remade
According to El Tiempo, Yamal is now making structural and aesthetic changes. The work includes upgrading the training and recovery areas, and redesigning the interiors to reflect his tastes and those of his partner, content creator Inés García, with whom he lives in Barcelona. Photos of the property have been shared on his Instagram account.
The cost and timeline of the renovation have not been made public.
Celebrity homes with a second life
Famous homes often outlive the stories that made them famous, like the Hollywood Hills house Dolly Parton and Carl Dean bought for $750,000 in 1985, or Brad Pitt’s Provence estate, now an organic vineyard.
Shakira’s former Barcelona mansion has found a new star. The recording studio is still there. Only the soundtrack has changed.
