Lamine Yamal will continue playing at Barça for the next few years. Although the negotiations for his renewal haven't been as straightforward as expected, they are indeed ready for the signing of the new contract. Everything is progressing positively and has been unlocked after reaching an agreement on the salary aspect, in addition to the inclusion of a clause that has pleased all parties.
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that, starting next season, Lamine Yamal will be Barça's new number 10. Everything is agreed upon between both parties, and the idea is to make it official during the next preseason, becoming a real economic boon.
At the moment, Lamine Yamal is already the player who sells the most jerseys at Barça, but sales are expected to increase with this change of number. Until recently, it was considered that he was too young to bear this burden, but he has shown no problem in this regard. The Spaniard is thrilled at the possibility of becoming the successor to his idol Messi both on and off the field.
Therefore, starting next season, Lamine Yamal will become Barça's new number 10, taking the number from Ansu Fati.
Lamine Yamal, Barça's New Number 10: KO to Ansu Fati
This number shuffle will result in a major casualty in Barça's squad: Ansu Fati. The plan with the youth player is clear, to find him a new destination starting next season. He has no place in Hansi Flick's squad and is expected to change scenery to try to relaunch his career.
With Ansu Fati leaving, the number 10 at Barça will be available, which will fall into the hands of a Lamine Yamal who is ready to take the next step in his career.
At the moment, Lamine Yamal is already the footballer who sells the most jerseys at Barça, followed by Lewandowski in second place. Meanwhile, the third is Leo Messi, who, despite having left years ago, is still held in high regard by the culer fans, who will never forget him.
Everything is ready for Lamine Yamal for the next season: long-term renewal to ensure his continuity at Barça... and to become the new number 10. The parties have given their approval, it's just a matter of time.
