FC Barcelona has confirmed that Lamine Yamal will wear the iconic number 10 jersey for the 2025-26 season following the departure of Ansu Fati, who was loaned to Monaco. The club unveiled its new kit featuring Yamal's name and the number 10, a shirt previously worn by legends such as Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Riquelme. Although the official announcement was scheduled for late June, the jersey was already available in the Barcelona store and became the best-selling shirt upon release. Yamal, a 17-year-old La Masia product, will officially assume the number 10 after turning 18 on July 13. The young forward hinted at his new role through social media posts referencing football icons like Diego Maradona. Meanwhile, Yamal's father addressed recent developments involving Nico Williams, who declined a move to Barcelona to renew with Athletic Club, stating that they will continue to support Lamine. This transition marks a symbolic passing of the torch as Yamal steps into a role once held by some of football's greatest players.
