Yamal has smashed records with Barcelona after scoring 25 outings in 106 games.

His tender age has not stopped the winger from mixing it with football’s very best.

And Yamal also has a Euros to his name after winning 20 caps for Spain.

The left-footer has now been rewarded for his stunning few seasons with a lucrative new Barcelona contract.

The deal will boost Yamal’s wages and release clause while keeping him tied down to the Nou Camp for the next six years.

As part of the deal, he has also been handed the iconic No10 shirt.

Its former wearers include Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Diego Maradona.

Rivaldo, Romario and Hristo Stoichkov also bore the coveted number on their jerseys.

The No10 was finally free to Yamal to take following the exit of Ansu Fati to Monaco.

Revealing his delight, the teen said: “I think the renewal means I’ll stay at the club of my life.

“I’ll continue enjoying myself and winning, because I’m at the best club in the world.

“I don’t feel pressure, I’m at the best club in the world. Messi has made his way, I’m going to make mine, and the 10 comes from Ansu anyway. I’ll try to make my way.”

Yamal’s good news comes just days after he threw a controversial birthday party for turning 18.

Footage on social media claims to show several dwarfs leaving his mafia-themed bash.

This sparked concerns within Spain’s government that they may have been exploited.

And Yamal now faces an investigation, risking a potential fine of £876,000.
