Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal recently posted a photo on social media of the legendary Diego Maradona wearing the iconic navy-and-burgundy jersey with the number ten.
This comes amid reports that the seventeen-year-old Yamal will soon receive the same number ten jersey, as he is currently playing with the number 19.
It’s worth mentioning that from the 2008/09 season to the 2020/21 season, the number ten jersey at Barcelona was worn by Lionel Messi, and it was passed on to Ansu Fati after Messi's exit.
Yamal is a product of the Catalan club's academy and has been part of the first team since July 2023. He has played in 106 matches for the club, scoring 25 goals and providing 34 assists. His contract with the team runs until the summer of 2031, and Transfermarkt currently estimates him at 200 million euros.
Earlier reports indicated that Barcelona's management intends to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, despite protests from the Basque club.
