FC Barcelona: Lamine Yamal sales skyrocket

Less than 48 hours after its release, Lamine Yamal's new number 10 jersey is smashing sales records.

Starting next season, Lamine Yamal will wear the iconic number 10 on his back. This symbolic change not only reflects his rising status but also the new dimension the former La Masia talent has reached at FC Barcelona.

According to information from Culemania, no fewer than 70,000 units of Yamal's new kit have been sold in just 24 hours, spanning over 170 countries. On the very first day of sales, FC Barcelona generated nearly 10 million euros thanks to their prodigy.

Yamal was able to claim the legendary number 10 following Ansu Fati's loan move to AS Monaco. His compatriot had himself inherited the shirt after Lionel Messi left on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021.
