Barcelona to renew 18-year-old star’s contract tomorrow and present him with his new iconic number – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are working to ensure that the club remains in a stable position as they move towards the future. While that would require a stable amount of income generation, it also involves creating avenues to making that possible. Fortunately, Barcelona have a few ideas on how to do just that.

One such way is through player exits, and the club is already working on that. In fact, they have already some significant progress on that end from a financial perspective and keeping in mind Financial Fair Play. Another way could be through sponsorships, and the club is working towards that end as well.

However, a slightly less conventional but equally as effective method could be through merchandise sales. Given the quality and reputation of some of their top players, it is not difficult for a club like Barcelona to make their athletes even more marketable.

One such player at the club is undoubtedly Lamine Yamal, and he has arguably established himself as one of the most recognisable players in world football already. The next step for him, however, involves two things that will reportedly be made official tomorrow.

Lamine Yamal’s big day is here

According to the latest information provided by JijantesFC, Barcelona plan on making Yamal’s contract renewal until 2031 official tomorrow, not too long after he turned 18. Moreover, the club is also looking to present him with his new ‘10’ jersey tomorrow, as that iconic number is the one that he will be wearing from tomorrow onwards.

While it is true that he has already signed his renewal with the club, the official presentation and pictures will be taken tomorrow as per the report. Furthermore, the announcement of his new number is something that fans have been excited over for weeks.

However, there has also been a lot of debate over whether or not he should be getting that number. Ultimately, that decision is one that the club and the player must decide upon together, and a certain Barcelona legend believes that the player definitely has what it takes to take on that responsibility.
