Lamine Yamal and all Barcelona fans experienced an intense afternoon on Wednesday. The player officially signed his renewal, which he had already agreed at the end of May, until 2031 and, in addition, the club announced that he will wear the number 10 shirt. The winger arrived, together with his whole family, at 18.30 at the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou, where many fans were waiting for him at the door outside. It was a brief and protocolary act, which later moved to the Barcelona store.
The player signed his contract until 2031 and took several photographs with the Blaugrana shirt and with the model of the new stadium in the background. The winger, who entered the Blaugrana’s facilities hand in hand with his grandmother, did not hide the fact that the event was postponed until Wednesday so that she could be present, a key figure in his life. The player’s agent and many relatives accompanied the Rocafonda native, who was dressed in a suit for the occasion.
At the same time that Lamine Yamal arrived at the offices, the club officially announced what was an open secret: that he will wear the number 10 shirt that was left vacant after Ansu Fati’s departure to Monaco. It was one of the big news stories of the summer.
Rocafonda takes centre stage
The club communicated the decision through social media and with its neighborhood as the protagonist, of which it is always proud when it scores a goal by showing the 304, the postal code, with its fingers. The Blaugrana club showed a mural located in Mataro, specifically in Rocafonda, where you could see the player and the number 10, as well as a reminder of La Masia.
After the protocolary act in the offices, Lamine Yamal moved to the store, which was dressed up for the announcement of the new number. Many shirts of the striker, which until now had not been put on sale, flooded the windows, mannequins… Even the player himself, after attending to the media, signed his shirt, in one of the most relaxed moments of the afternoon.
