Officially unveiled! Barcelona's new No. 10 is unveiled, Yamal takes over Messi's mantle, 18 years old worth 200 million euros
Yamal celebrated his 18th birthday on July 13, and he officially became an adult player. He had previously signed a contract with Barcelona that expires in 2031. The contract will officially take effect when he turns 18, which means that he will continue to play for Barcelona for at least the next six years. Any team that wants to poach him will pay a sky-high price of 1 billion euros.
From the No. 19 jersey to the No. 10 jersey, Yamal's position in the team has changed dramatically. He has become the absolute core of the team. The 18-year-old Yamal played 55 games for Barcelona last season, scored 18 goals, sent 22 assists, and directly created 40 goals. His data and performance are much better than Fati, who took over Messi's No. 10 jersey that year, so the outside world said that Yamal is the most suitable successor to Messi.
According to the German Transfermarkt, the 18-year-old Yamal is worth 200 million euros, which is a very amazing figure, and his value will rise in the future depending on his performance. Yamal is full of expectations for his future in Barcelona, for example, he is very much looking forward to taking over the No. 10 jersey this time. He has previously posted photos of Maradona, Ronaldinho and others who have worn the No. 10 jersey in Barcelona on social media. Now he will write his own legendary story.
Barcelona officially released a photo of Laporta and Yamal holding the No. 10 jersey and wrote: "A photo that will go down in history". Barcelona made such a grand event of Yamal changing his jersey number, showing their importance to Yamal. They hope that Yamal can reach the height of Messi in the future with the inspiration of the No. 10 jersey.
