Lamine Yamal drops another clue suggesting Barcelona’s number 10 is his | OneFootball

It is going to be a big week for Barcelona, and especially for young star Lamine Yamal. Even though he is on holiday right now, Yamal is paying close attention to everything happening at Barça.

Meanwhile, he is also working on building his personal brand on social media. His latest post proves this, as he shared a photo of Ronaldinho wearing the Barça shirt with the number 10 on his back.

Before this, he posted a picture of Maradona. These posts make it clear that Yamal is set to take the number 10 shirt next season.

Change on the horizon

This change will happen once Ansu Fati’s loan move to Monaco is made official. Ansu, who now wears the number 10 and is a close friend of Yamal, will leave behind a shirt number that many dream of wearing.

The club’s choice is firm that Yamal will be the next player to carry the iconic number 10.

Lamine Yamal has been dropping hints on social media.

Barcelona have planned everything carefully. The official announcement of Yamal wearing the number 10 will happen this week, right after Ansu’s exit is confirmed.

The club also wants to have the new shirts with Yamal’s name and number ready in their official stores. This will match the release of Barça’s new home kit.

Barça see this move as very important, believing that shirt sales with his name will increase quickly, helping the club financially and building excitement among the fans.

Meanwhile, on July 13, which is also the first day of preseason training, Barça will hold a special event. They plan to celebrate Yamal’s new number and his contract renewal, which he signed before going on holiday.

His new deal will keep him at the club until June 30, 2031. The contract was agreed without photos because Yamal wanted his grandmother to be in the pictures when it was made public.
