With the expected departure of Ansu Fati this summer, the number 10 of FC Barcelona will be left vacant, after being worn by Lionel Messi before him for more than 15 years. But the legendary number will not stay long without a carrier. Indeed, according to Mundo Deportivothe club has already found who will wear the number 10 next season on the back of its jersey. And not surprisingly, the talented Spanish winger Lamine Yamal will stop bringing the number 19 at the start of the pre-season 2025-26 and will be the new owner of the number 10.
Loaned to Brighton two years ago, Ansu Fati had seen Barça leave him this number, not reassuring him, which will not be the case this time although Fati is on the side of Monaco again. However, according to Mundo Deportivothe official announcement of the appointment of Lamine as a new number “10” of Barça will take a few more days. As announced on May 27, the day of the signing of its contract extension until 2031, the club and Lamine agreed to organize a more publicized event to celebrate its 18th anniversary.
