Lamine Yamal turned out to be a real revelation since he made his debut in the first team of FC Barcelona at the age of 15 in 2023, and he is now preparing to take a new important step in the promising beginnings of his career.
Last month, Barcelona announced that Lamine Yamal had signed a new six -year contract, which will officially come into force when he was 18 years old in July. It is deserved for a player who has been in great shape in the past 12 months, and he should receive another reward in the coming weeks.
FC Barcelona is expected to announce the new composition of its team in August before the start of the 2025-2026 season, but Lamine Yamal seems to suggest that he will change number. He wore the number 19 last season, following the traces of Lionel Messi, and he could do it again by going to number 10.
Lamine Yamal wants 10
According to Diario AS, Lamine Yamal published an Instagram story on Saturday that simply showing Diego Maradona at the time when he played in Barcelona. The Argentine icon bore the number 10, which, according to the supporters, suggests that it will also wear this emblematic jersey from the 2025-26 season.
The jersey will be vacant due to the planned departure of Ansu Fat
The n ° 10 jersey will be vacant next season, Ansu Fati being about to leave Barcelona to join AS Monaco, Ligue 1 club, as part of a loan of a season with option to buy. Lamine Yamal will therefore be likely to recover this number if he wishes.
Yamal will undergo additional pressure if he chooses number 10, especially since comparisons with Messi will only intensify. But as he has demonstrated since his arrival in the first team of Barcelona, he is able to manage any pressure, which is quite remarkable given his age.
