Reuters Sports, July 16th: According to the Spanish newspaper "World Sport", this afternoon in Spain, Barcelona Club will award Yamal the number 10 jersey for the new season.
The report states that after renewing his contract with Barcelona until June 2031 on May 27th, Yamal will once again visit the club's office at the Camp Nou this afternoon to repeat the same ceremony. The photo of both the chairman Laporta and him holding the "2031" sign will make its debut for the first time today. The difference this time is that his entire family will attend. Last time, his grandmother Fatima and brother Kane, who were crucial to him, were unable to be present.
The major news of the ceremony this afternoon is that the final choice of the 10th jersey that Yamal will wear in the new season has been announced. Previously, after Fati was loaned to Monaco, this number became available. Before the start of the preseason training, Yamal himself had repeatedly hinted on his Instagram account that he had posted photos of great idols who had worn the Barcelona 10th jersey on different days, including Maradona, Ronaldinho and Messi. In the classic photo of Messi, Messi was bathing the infant Yamal.
Although this will be a private ceremony involving the family, club president Laporta, sports director Deco and others will also attend. At that time, Yamal will make his first statement to the official media of Barcelona about his contract extension.
