Barça will present Lamine Yamal's new number during the official signing of his new contract. The winger closed his renewal in May, but rescheduled the event for family reasons

Lamine Yamal will have an intense week upon returning to work with FC Barcelona. The player from Mataró, along with the rest of the squad, begins training this Monday with a double session, the first for ten continuous days of activity at the Ciutat Espotiva.

However, the club still has two very important matters pending with the player from Mataró. On one hand, to carry out the formal act of signing his new contract. Although the winger's renewal was closed on May 27, the contract officially comes into effect when the player reaches the age of majority.

Lamine signed for six more seasons, until June 2031, with an increasing salary that will make him the highest paid player in the squad in the medium term. Despite this, the official photo of the contract extension is still missing, postponed by the player's decision due to family reasons. Well, the event will take place this Wednesday, July 16, probably at noon.

On the other hand, Barça will present Yamal's new number for the 25/26 season. The 18-year-old player will wear the '10' on his back from this summer, a number that has been held by Ansu Fati since 2021 (vacant in 23/24, when the player from Bisáu went on loan to Brighton).

Culés fans have been waiting for a couple of weeks to be able to purchase Barça's home shirt for the next season with Lamine's '10' and, finally, this piece will be available in all the club's official stores (and in the virtual one) from Wednesday the 16th.

For the moment, the Barça virtual store offers the Rocafonda player's shirt without revealing his number, with the following message:

To ensure the best experience, you can buy Lamine Yamal's shirt, but it will not be delivered until his number (name and number) is officially confirmed. Thank you for your understanding.

When will Lamine Yamal debut with Barça's '10'?

Well, from this Wednesday the shirt of the 'crack' azulgrana will be available. The other kits (second, third and fourth) will go on sale in the coming weeks, during and after the Asian preseason tour.
