Barcelona gives Yamal a bonus: The number 10 shirt and a huge value of 1 billion euros

Yamal deserves Messi's number 10 shirt, worth up to 1 billion euros

Spanish press said that Yamal will officially own the number 10 shirt at Barcelona left by Messi from the next season 2025 - 2026. Yamal refused to wear this number (still keeping number 19 from the youth team) because of his friend Ansu Fati, in the 2024 - 2025 season is about to end.

Ansu Fati has been in poor form recently due to persistent injuries, and had to go on loan to Brighton (England). This season, the 22-year-old returned to the Catalan club, but could not keep his position and was often on the bench all season. After this season ends, Ansu Fati will leave Barcelona to seek opportunities at another club.

Therefore, the legendary number 10 shirt at Barcelona will soon be handed over to Yamal, the player who had a brilliant season in every aspect and is considered Messi's true successor at the Catalan team.

To tie down this gem, Barcelona is about to give Yamal a very heavy contract with a long term and a significant salary increase. In addition, Barcelona also raised the contract release clause with this star to 1 billion euros (about more than 29,000 billion VND), ending all possibilities of attraction from big clubs like PSG or Man City.

Spanish newspaper AS reported that PSG had offered to sign Yamal for a total cost of nearly 500 million euros last summer, of which about 200 million euros was the transfer fee. But Barcelona immediately refused, affirming that Yamal was not for sale, even though the club was in extremely difficult financial circumstances at the time.

"Lamine Yamal has accepted our contract proposal. We just need to wait for him to sign the contract as soon as he turns 18 and everything will be done," Mr. Laporta confirmed on TV3 (Spain) on May 20.

He also affirmed: "Barcelona has enough financial resources to sign a huge contract to keep Yamal, because we will earn about 950 million euros. That is nearly 1 billion euros. We are very confident that Barcelona will meet all the 1:1 financial rules of La Liga".

Also according to Mr. Laporta: "Besides Yamal, we are also promoting the contract extension with Raphinha and Inigo. We want to complete all the extension procedures and then there will be new contracts.

Similar to goalkeeper Szczesny, we invited him for his experience, now we are offering him a new contract. Hopefully he will stay. As for Nico Williams, we were interested in him last summer, but we also have Dani Olmo. Now the coach (Hansi Flick, who has just signed a contract until June 2027) is evaluating other players."

Laporta confirmed that Barcelona will have to strengthen their squad to defend their "treble" of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup next season. "There will be changes in our squad this summer. Our opponents will also be stronger, because they have seen that our team is the best team at the moment," Laporta said.
