Youngster Lamine Yamal, a standout player for Spain at Euro 2024, has taken the number 19 that belonged to Brazilian Vitor Roque , who is on loan at Betis this season.
In addition, defender Pau Cubarsí inherits the number 2 from full-back João Cancelo, who belonged to Manchester City and transferred to Al-Hilal . The person who will wear the number 10 shirt, previously worn by star player Lionel Messi, will be Ansu Fati.
— We are very satisfied with the squad and the coach we have. We are especially proud that La Masia is once again the backbone of our sporting project. We wanted to make an important signing, and the sporting priority was Dani Olmo — said the club’s president, Joan Laporta, at an event on Tuesday.
Barcelona’s next game will be on September 15, away to Girona in La Liga. Barça are leading the competition with a 100% record in four rounds.
