The 17-year-old striker will continue Messi's legacy. The Argentine superstar is also Yamal's idol. Currently, the number 10 shirt of Barcelona belongs to Ansu Fati. However, the 22-year-old striker's future at Camp Nou next season is not guaranteed due to his limited contributions.

Yamal has changed his shirt number three times while playing for Barcelona. He made his first-team debut with the number 41 in the 2022/23 season, then changed to the number 27. This season, the 17-year-old striker has worn the number 19 shirt and has been in great form.

According to the plan, Yamal will officially sign a new contract right after his 18th birthday (July 13). This contract will come with a release clause of up to 1 billion euros.

Yamal once imitated his idol Messi's celebration in the 2-0 win over Espanyol in round 36 of La Liga on May 16. Also last week, when asked about Messi on the happy day of winning La Liga, Yamal said: "Messi is the best in history, but I want to have my own story."

Yamal has been instrumental in Barcelona's domestic treble this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions. In Goal 's Ballon d'Or candidate rankings, Yamal is just behind PSG's Ousmane Dembele.

Barcelona fans are eagerly awaiting Yamal’s performances next season. Many hope that with the number 10 shirt on his back, Yamal will inherit Messi’s legacy and also make his own mark in the club’s history.

Yamal's top performance In the early morning of May 1, Yamal played impressively against Inter in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at Lluis Companys Stadium.
