Big news in Barcelona — Lamine Yamal is set to take over the legendary number 10 jersey at FC Barcelona starting next season.
According to El Mundo Deportivo, the 17-year-old wonderkid will switch from number 19 to the number once worn by club icons like Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. With Ansu Fati currently on loan at AS Monaco, the club has decided to hand the symbolic number to its brightest rising star.
Yamal 10 Era Begins
The change will be officially announced around July 13, Yamal’s 18th birthday. While Barça’s new home kit will hit stores on July 2, fans will have to wait a little longer for the “Yamal 10” edition.
This decision underlines Barcelona’s long-term faith in Yamal and signals the club’s intent to build around him for the future. The number 10 shirt won’t stay in the shadows — it’s back at the heart of the project.
