Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona will hold a private ceremony for Yamyra today, extending his contract until 2031 and awarding him the No. 10 jersey.
After renewing his contract with Barcelona until June 2031 on May 27th, Yamyra will return to the Camp Nou office this afternoon for another signing ceremony. This time, his entire family will be present, including his grandmother Fatima and his brother Kane, who were absent at the last signing.
Although the new contract officially came into effect last Sunday (Yamal's 18th birthday), making him one of the highest-paid players in the team, the photo of him wearing a jersey with the number "2031" and the club president Laporta will be made public for the first time today. The ceremony is scheduled for the afternoon as Yamal needs to train with his teammates for the fourth time this week at the sports city in the morning.
The most eye-catching highlight of this signing ceremony is that with Fati's loan to Monaco freeing up the number, Yamaal will officially wear the No. 10 jersey in the new season. Before the start of the preseason preparations, this young player continuously sent signals through his Instagram account, posting classic photos of Barcelona's legendary No. 10s (Maradona, Ronaldinho and Messi) for several consecutive days. Among them, the photo with Messi is particularly special, capturing the warm moment when the young Yamaal was held by Messi in the bathtub.
Although this is a private ceremony mainly attended by family members, Yamyar will still give a statement about his contract renewal to the official media of Barcelona. Club president Laporta, sports director Deco and others will also be present. Currently, the club is coordinating to arrange for the striker to give a brief interview to the club's accompanying media, but this arrangement itself has broken the club's past practice.
By renewing the contract with Yamyar, Barcelona has secured the services of this talented player for at least the next six years.
