Barcelona’s income has already started to see an incredible boost.
Just recently, on Wednesday, Barcelona handed Lamin Yamal the iconic number 10 jersey, and the club’s revenue is already feeling a remarkable impact.
Since his debut, Yamal has been delivering outstanding performances for the Catalan club. He played a crucial role in last season’s domestic treble triumph. The Spaniard continues his impressive form with the national team as well. At just 18 years old, he has already become a big star.
Last month, Barcelona signed Yamal until 2031. And just last week, the club gave him the number 10 jersey — a number worn by some of the greatest legends in the club’s history, including Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Romario.
Barcelona released Yamal’s number 10 jersey both in their official stores and online. That immediately sparked a frenzy — a level of excitement the club’s supporters didn’t even see with Messi’s jersey.
According to AS, within 24 hours of the jersey going on sale, revenue topped €1 million!
Yamal will be the youngest player ever to wear Barcelona’s number 10 jersey.
So far, across all competitions, Yamal has played 106 matches for Barcelona, scoring 25 goals, and winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. He has also tasted European glory with Spain.
