Global media sources have revealed that young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal will wear the number 10 jersey next season, having worn number 19 during the current season. Renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Catalan club’s management decided to award Yamal the legendary number, reflecting great confidence in his talent and future with the team.

Seventeen-year-old Lamine Yamal has delivered exceptional performances that helped Barcelona secure a treble this season, winning La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Copa del Rey, making a strong and remarkable impact despite his young age.

Separately, the Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Yamal unfollowed former Barcelona star Lionel Messi on Instagram, sparking widespread debate among fans. It is known that Yamal’s encounters with Messi were very limited, having only met him at Barcelona’s academy and having no contact since joining the first team, with no phone calls exchanged.
Interestingly, an old photo recently circulated showing Messi at age 20 caring for Yamal as a baby, symbolizing a connection between the club’s generations despite the current gap in their relationship.

This decision to give Yamal the number 10 jersey puts him more in the spotlight and signals Barcelona’s desire to build the team’s future on the shoulders of young talents like him, with high expectations that Lamine will become one of the club’s stars in the coming years.
