Because Ansu Fati was on loan to Brighton & Hove Albion, Barcelona did not have a “number ten” at the end of the season for the first time in 28 years.
But as Barça gets ready for the new season, the marketing team is pushing the club to find a new “number ten,” which would be good for business.
With Barcelona getting ready to celebrate their 125th anniversary, having a number ten can help the club make the most money possible.
Will Ansu Fati keep her job as “number ten”?
Once Ansu Fati got back from his loan spell at Brighton, he put on the number ten shirt at Barcelona.
But everyone in the club agrees that the person who wears the famous jersey has to be an important part of the team. Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho, two famous players, have worn that jersey before, according to Diario AS.
Because Fati has been having trouble lately and because his future at Camp Nou is uncertain, most of Barcelona agrees that the shirt should go to someone else.
The kit that Lamine Yamal wants to wear the most
There is also a report that says Lamine Yamal is the favorite to become the new number ten for Barcelona.
With the number 10 shirt comes a lot of responsibility, which might be too much for a player who isn’t even 17 yet, but most people think that Yamal can handle it.
The Spanish player has already shown a lot of maturity and skill at the highest level of football. Soon, he could lead Spain to their first European Championship in 12 years.
Although the player has said in the past that he wants to wear the famous kit, there is no reason why he shouldn’t now that he is a real part of the first team.
