This week Barcelona hopes to complete the signing sessions of Nico Williams and Roony Bardghji, but they may not be the only announcements of the club.
In the coming days it will also be officially made that Ansu Fati has left the club to participate as Monaco on a seasonal loan that will include an option to buy. And that will free up the No. 10 -Jersey, which will soon go to a new house.
Lamine Yamal only changed numbers last summer, but he will do this again in 2025 to take the number 10. Barcelona had planned to make that announcement later in July after the player who turned 18, but with him who suggested this weekend, the process will be accelerated, according to Jeantes (via MD).
Barcelona is now planning to confirm Lamine Yamal as the new holder of the iconic sweater this week, once the departure of Fati is officially made. And this will be done in addition to the release of the home jersey of the Club 2025-26, which will be on sale this Wednesday.
The expectation is that a huge number of Lamine Yamal sweaters will be sold with its new number, so that extra much needed funds will be obtained that will help Barcelona to continue their bid to eradicate their financial problems. And their prediction should be good, because many will certainly climb to get a shirt with their new number 10.
The move from Lamine Yamal to no. 10 has long happened. Despite his youthfulness, he has demonstrated that he can handle the highest pressure, and he will have to be able to do this when wearing the most iconic team number that Barcelona has.
