Barcelona has officially secured the long-term future of its teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal, who has put pen-to-paper on a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2031.
In a hugely significant and historic move, the 18-year-old has also been officially handed the legendary No. 10 shirt. In doing so, Yamal becomes the youngest player in Barcelona’s history to wear the iconic number, breaking the previous record held by Ansu Fati. The decision comes after a spectacular, record-breaking season where Yamal was a focal point of the team’s success.
He inherits a number made famous by club legends such as Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. This long-term contract demonstrates the immense faith Barcelona has in Yamal to be the face of the club for the next generation.
This is a monumental day for the club, locking down its most prized asset for the foreseeable future. With his new contract signed and the iconic No. 10 on his back, the era of Lamine Yamal at Barcelona has well and truly begun.
