Barça is preparing a special event to hand over the '10' to Lamine Yamal. Everything points to a very symbolic date. Which one is it?
Ansu Fati's farewell, who will leave on loan to AS Monaco for the upcoming 2025/26 season, will give rise to one of the most anticipated moves by the FC Barcelona fans. And yes, with the departure of the striker from Bissau to the Monegasque team, the mythical number 10 will be free.
Given this, the prediction is that the historic '10' of the Catalan team —which legends of the club such as Leo Messi and Ronaldinho knew how to wear— will fall into the hands of the great jewel of the culé sports project: Lamine Yamal. The winger would thus emulate the path taken by 'La Pulga' with respect to the change of number, going from '19' to using '10'.
A move that, at the marketing level, is expected to break the market. Just as it happened when he went from 27 to the aforementioned 19.
The number 10 would already have a date for its transfer
Now, the transfer of the number '10' from Ansu Fati to Lamine Yamal will not be effective immediately as soon as the left winger leaves the club, but it would already have an established date for it. As reported to Mundo Deportivo, it is expected that on July 13 —the day the preseason begins and coincides with the birthday of the Spanish-Moroccan jewel— he can already be seen posing with the '10' blaugrana, within the framework of a presentation event.
FC BARCELONA '10' NUMBERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY:
- Ansu Fati (2020/21 - act)
- Leo Messi (2008/09 - 2020/21)
- Ronaldinho (2003/04 - 2007/08)
- Juan Román Riquelme (2002/03)
- Rivaldo (2000/01 - 2001/02)
It is worth remembering that when Lamine Yamal finalized his renewal with FC Barcelona (2031), the act and the protocol photos that proceed in this type of cases were not carried out. The reason was related, among other things, to the fact that his paternal grandmother could not be present in Joan Laporta's office on the day of the signing of the contractual extension.
From this, it was apparently promised to hold an event according to the great event. In this activity, it is expected that the striker's paternal grandmother, Fátima, can be present, this being the opportune celebration to show Lamine Yamal with the '10' elastic, thus marking the beginning of a new era for the Spanish international.
Can Lamine Yamal handle the weight of the '10'?
The responsibility of carrying the '10' on his back is no small thing, but from the blaugrana sports management they estimate that the striker will carry it with great solvency. At his young age, he has already shown that he can face high-level challenges without being intimidated. He is already a highly indispensable player, both in the starting lineup of Barcelona and in the Spanish national team.
| SEASON | MATCHES | G | A | MIN. PLAYED |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022/23 | 1 | - | - | 7' |
| 2023/24 | 50 | 7 | 9 | 2.957' |
| 2024/25 | 55 | 18 | 25 | 4.553' |
| TOTAL | 106 | 25 | 34 | 7.517' |
And although he has not formally requested it, everything indicates that he seems to be the worthy heir to such a mythical number in the history of the club. Now, will he be able to honor it? Only time will tell. However, the prospects are more than encouraging.
