Barcelona teenage sensation has recorded an ad for Nike with number ten shirt – report | OneFootball

It might only be a matter of time before Barcelona announce a bumper new renewal for Lamine Yamal.

The Spaniard is poised to become the club’s third-highest earner, with a new deal that could ensure his long-term future in Barcelona.

As Barça gear up for the new season, the club may also look to maximise Yamal’s economic potential, as the forward has already seen excellent demand for his shirts.

Keeping that in mind, there is a stark possibility that Yamal could become Barcelona’s new number ten next season.

Yamal records an advert with Nike

According to Cadena SER, Yamal has already recorded an advert for Nike, where he was wearing the number ten shirt.

This is a significant development considering the fact that Barça have appeared quite hesitant in giving Yamal the number ten shirt, especially after the Ansu Fati debacle.

However, after an extraordinary season that might even lead to a Ballon d’Or, Barcelona are committed to Yamal’s growth and are ready to invest in him.

Giving him the number ten shirt, to that end, could be a step in that direction.

The number ten shirt is currently occupied by Ansu Fati, who is destined to leave the club in the coming summer.

The Spaniard has been recently linked with a move to AS Monaco, who are ready to bet on the fringe Barcelona forward.

Once he leaves, Barcelona are expected to transfer the number ten shirt to Lamine Yamal as he looks to kickstart his legacy at Camp Nou.
