Lamine Yamal wants to be among set-piece takers at Barcelona next season | OneFootball

Over the last two years, the FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has seen himself rise from being a promising youth talent to become one of the biggest names in the world of football, and that too only by the age of 17.

Last season, he was one of the most prominent players in the Blaugrana team and showcased this incredible talent at the biggest of stages by putting in unforgettable performances in the UEFA Champions League.

However, his role in the team is expected to grow even further in the next season, and nothing will symbolize his growing role more than him taking the number 10 shirt once Ansu Fati completes his loan move to AS Monaco.

Lamine Yamal ready to enter rotation for free-kicks and penalties

But in addition to the shirt number, the youngster is also going to enjoy more responsibility on the pitch. In this regard, Mundo Deportivo reports that the Barcelona winger is already prepared to enter into rotation for free-kick and penalty kick duties.

The coming July 13th is going to be a memorable day for the youngster. He will not only begin training for the next season with the rest of his teammates on that date, but will also celebrate his 18th birthday. Furthermore, being 18 years of age means he will also see his contract extended with the Blaugrana club till 2031.

Memorable holidays

For now, the youngster is still enjoying his vacations. Yamal has been to Italy and Brazil during these holidays, and the latter venue was particularly memorable for him as he enjoyed his time with his idol Neymar. Currently, he is present in Ibiza, enjoying his holidays for now.

However, Lamine Yamal is still ready to take on more responsibility in the Barcelona team and, hopefully, will be able to meet the upcoming challenges successfully to continue his rise as one of the best players in the game.
