What was speculation was confirmed this Wednesday (16th)! Barcelona has a new number 10!
With Ansu Fati's departure to Monaco, the legendary number, worn by Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Lionel Messi, will now be donned by Lamine Yamal!
The announcement of Yamal as the new number 10 for Barça was made during the ceremony for signing the new contract of the 18-year-old prodigy.
The renewal had already been agreed upon in March, but the officialization was postponed until Yamal turned 18, which happened last Sunday.
It's a dream since I was little. Both my family and I are very happy. Barcelona is my life, it's my home, I've been here since I was 7 years old. For all the youth players, it's a dream to reach the main team, and I'm fulfilling it. I hope to win, enjoy, and keep winning because I'm young. I'm eager to play at the new Camp Nou.
After debuting at 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days, in the 2022/23 season, Yamal became the youngest player to play for Barcelona in over a century.
Since then, the star has accumulated 106 matches, scored 25 goals, and provided 28 assists for Barcelona.
He has won two LaLiga titles, a Copa del Rey, and a Spanish Super Cup, while also winning the Euro 2024 as a key player for the Spanish national team.
