Foot/ Barça: Lamine Yamal Leading the Race to Succeed Ansu Fati’s Vacant Number 10?
For a long time hailed as one of Masia’s greatest revelations, Ansu Fati is on the verge of leaving the club. Holder of the iconic number 10, the Spanish winger might see the emerging talent Lamine Yamal steal the spotlight from him.
The situation is becoming clearer for Ansu Fati. Struggling at Barcelona for the past two seasons, he is set to depart Catalonia and join Brighton on a year-long loan.
But who will inherit his number 10 jersey? That’s the question posed by the newspaper SPORT to its readers.
Their response was clear-cut. 31% of the Spanish media’s subscribers believe that the emblematic number 10 should go to Lamine Yamal, the latest significant find from Masia.
However, at just 16 years old, it’s difficult to envision that the club’s management will burden him with what could be a heavy responsibility down the line.
Other candidates to claim the number 10 jersey include Pedri, Gündogan, or even João Félix, who might arrive in the near future. This is a story that remains to be followed.
