FC Barcelona confirms Lamine Yamal will wear the iconic No. 10 jersey starting next season, marking a historic moment for the teenage sensation.
The decision was confirmed on Monday May 19, days after Barcelona won La Liga 2025, according to a close source from the club.
It was revealed that the club’s executives have decided to unleash Yamal’s No.10 Jersey, which would be handed over to him on his 18th birthday on July 13, 2025 as part of his new contract signing.
At only 17 years old, Yamal has already made a spectacular impression for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, demonstrating exceptional talent, composure, and maturity well beyond his years.
Yamal, who now wears No. 19, will be one of the youngest players in club history to wear the legendary No. 10 jersey, joining Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and teammate Ansu Fati.
The move highlights the club’s growing faith in the young prodigy, who has quickly established himself as one of the most promising talents in world football.
The No. 10 jersey at Barça carries immense weight, legacy, pressure and often reserved for the team’s most influential creative force.
After Messi’s departure, the shirt was passed to Ansu Fati, but following his loan departure, speculation had grown about the club’s next chosen heir.
With this confirmation, Barcelona clearly sees Yamal as the team’s future cornerstone and next Messi.
Barcelona’s decision to give Yamal the number 10 jersey has been in the spotlight since the winger made his debut in 2023 under then-coach Xavi Hernandez, demonstrating his undeniable talent.
He has made headlines this season for his impressive performances in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
His maturity, vision, and dribbling have prompted comparisons to legends, despite his young age.
With the No. 10 jersey, expectations will be higher than ever, and fans are eager to see if he can live up to the legacy.
