Barca set to announce renewal of their new No 10

This Wednesday is Lamine Yamal's day, 72 hours after his 18th birthday, and after a party that has brought more controversy than expected, Barcelona intend to make the renewal official today. It is true that it was announced at the end of May, but it could not be effective until the youth player had reached the age of majority.

Lamine Yamal has renewed until 2031. Barcelona intend to make it official by signing the contract with Joan Laporta and Deco in the offices of the stadium. It will be a private act with his family to definitively seal the future of the biggest star to come out of La Masia since Leo Messi.

It is precisely this parallelism with Messi that will be reflected in the renewal of his contract. After signing the new contract, Lamine Yamal will stop wearing the No 19 to wear the number '10' on his shirt, Leo's '10'.

'AS' claims that the reason why the event will be private and not open to the public, as the club had originally planned, is due to the player's own birthday party and all the controversy that has arisen since then.

Barcelona prefers to keep a low profile at the moment despite the fact that this is the first major renewal of their star player with a present and still a great future.
