As with La Roja, Lamine Yamal will change his jersey number, but this time with his club. This Thursday, the media El Chiringuito reveals that the Catalan prodigy will indeed swap his number 19 for 10, currently occupied by Ansu Fati. The latter has only played 186 minutes of play under Hansi Flick at Barça this season, and his future still remains very uncertain in Catalonia.

If the information is confirmed, Yamal will change his number for the third time since his professional debut. After starting with the 41 in 2023, the 17-year-old winger had recovered the 27 then the 19, also worn by Lionel Messi in the past. He could therefore now have the opportunity to shine with the 10 (which he also wears for the selection, editor's note), emblematic for having participated in the legend of his idol.
