One of the most prestigious clubs in Spain, "Barcelona," is expected to see a new star shine starting next season. The team's young talent Lamin Yamal will take to the field wearing the legendary number 10 starting next season. This was reported by Managing Barca, as noted by Championat.
The 17-year-old player is currently playing for the Catalans under the number 19. However, he will celebrate his 18th birthday on July 13 and will sign a long-term new contract with the club on that very date. Once the new contract comes into effect, Yamal will accept the legendary number 10 of "Barcelona."
It is worth noting that this number was worn by world football stars such as Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Diego Maradona during their time at "Barcelona." Currently, this number belongs to Ansu Fati, but there is a high probability that he will leave the team or switch to another number at the end of the season.
It has been reported that Lamin Yamal has already reached an agreement with the club regarding the new contract. This contract includes a record transfer fee of 1 billion euros.
Yamal's performance this season has astonished fans and experts alike. He has represented "Barcelona" this season, appearing 54 times in all competitions, scoring 18 goals, and providing 25 assists. Such high results have further enhanced the young talent's standing in the club.
Many football specialists and team fans see Lamin Yamal as the heir to great football stars like Messi and Ronaldinho. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see what kind of performance he will showcase under the number 10 next season.
