Expectations were that Lamine Yamal would be the one to wear Barcelona’s historic No. 10 shirt next season, after his great brilliance last season and as the Blaugrana’s number one star currently.
Last season, no player wore the historic Lionel Messi shirt with Barcelona, and perhaps everyone was evading that in order to stay away from the accompanying media and public pressures.
With Yamal’s brilliance, everyone was waiting for him in a Messi shirt after he wore the number 27 shirt throughout last season.
But according to the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Ansu Fati, returning from his loan from Brighton, is the one who will wear the number 10 shirt in Barcelona next season.
Fati wore Messi’s shirt in the season before last, but he did not succeed in replacing the flea and his levels declined significantly due to the large number of injuries.
Now the 21-year-old returns to Barca and hopes to convince Hansi Flick of his abilities, and he will keep the number 10 shirt, and at the same time it will be a good way to take the pressure away from the 16-year-old Yamal.
It is currently most likely that Fati will not leave this summer, especially after his meeting with sporting director Deco, who told him that the club has confidence in his abilities and will give him the opportunity during the preparation period to show his abilities.
