      Lamine Yamal set to land Messi’s No10 shirt after signing generational new Barcelona deal with €1billion release clause

      by

      LAMINE YAMAL will reportedly inherit Lionel Messi’s iconic No 10 shirt at Barcelona after signing a generational deal this summer.The 17-year-old has emerged as a Ballon d’Or front-runner and is widely viewed as the game’s biggest talent since Messi burst onto the scene almost 20 years ago.Lamine Yamal will reportedly inherit Lionel Messi’s iconic No 10 shirt when he signs a new deal this summerMessi famously wore the No 10 jersey for the majority of his iconic Barcelona careerMessi wore the No 10 for 13 years, winning seven of his eight Ballon d’Ors in that timeYamal was considered the heir to eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi when he came the youngest player to start a Euros final with Spain.And Yamal, who has already provided 25 goals and 34 assists in 105 appearances for Barca, will celebrate his 18th birthday in July by signing a new long-term contract.According to Memorabilia1899.co, the Catalan club will include a €1billion (£841million) release clause in the once in a lifetime deal.Yamal, who still wears braces, will also be handed the iconic No 10 shirt, which is worn by Ansu Fati at the moment.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLFati was termed as the original heir to Messi, but injuries and a lack of form has left him facing an exit this summer.Yamal currently holds the No. 19 jersey, which was also the number worn by fellow former La Masia product Messi before he switched in 2008.The changeover will mark another historic moment in Yamal’s young career, after he made his Barca debut two years ago when he was only 15.Since then, he has won LaLiga twice and provided 43 goal contributions in 54 games for Barca’s domestic treble this season.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSThe stats show Yamal’s trajectory since his debut aged 15 years and 290 days is rising faster than that of either Messi or the other superstar of his generation, Cristiano Ronaldo.By 17, Messi had scored once in nine senior games for Barca, while Ronaldo had netted five goals in 19 games for Sporting.’Absolute cinema’ – Kate Abdo dubbed ‘real talent’ after showing off incredible Spanish in Lamine Yamal interviewYamal also has four goals in his 19 appearances for Spain. Neither Messi or Ronaldo made their international debut until they turned 18.It took Messi, who made his debut at 16, until shortly before his 21st birthday to hit the 100-game mark in Barcelona colours, scoring 41 goals in the process.Before bagging an incredible screamer in Barca’s 3-3 Champions League draw on his 100th appearance, Yamal said: “I don’t compare myself to anyone, and much less with Messi.”So I don’t think the comparison makes sense, with Messi even less, I’m going to enjoy myself and be myself.”Remarkably, there are pictures of baby Yamal being held by a 20-year-old Messi during a photoshoot for Barcelona and Unicef in 2007.Seven years later, that baby was training with the club. By the age of 12, Spanish publication Marca was already comparing him to Messi.The Argentine icon finished his Barcelona career in 2021 with a staggering 672 goals in 778 appearances, plus 10 LaLiga titles and four Champions League triumphs to his name.Messi held baby Lamine Yamal for Unicef in 2007 More

There are no hotel rooms so I’m bunking up with a pal on his hotel floor. “The trip will cost me more than £5,000. I’m broke, but I really don’t care. We just need to win.”Footie fanatics get the party started earlyBy Sun man in Bilbao, Dave CourtnadgeIT’S barely midday in Bilbao on the day before the Europa League final between Manchester United and Spurs – but it’s already getting lively.I arrived in the city at about 9am after a 32-HOUR ferry ride from Portsmouth.And the first thing a lot of fellow fans planned to do was find a pub for a well-earned drink.Walking around the area around the San Mames stadium this morning, a fair few others had the same idea.Many have had long journeys, stopping off overnight in another city to keep down the soaring cost of getting here, with some direct flights over £1,000.So it’s no surprise many are already getiing the party started, or the Bilbao leg of the party anyway.Spurs fan Gary, who flew out from London before an overnight stay in a Madrid hotel resembling a “prison cell”, joked as he supped a pint in the sun: “I’m just getting some practice in for tomorrow.”The atmosphere has been brilliant so far, and hopefully that will continue.There had been claims that Spurs fans are set to outnumber United fans by 5 to 1, with an estimated 50,000 supporters of the two English sides expected to arrive.One Tottenham follower I spoke to joked that they had bought all the flights out of London to keep the Reds out.Based on the number of Spurs shirts I’ve already seen, he might be right.Frank Johns, a Red Devils season ticket holder, jetted out yesterday from Heathrow via Schiphol in Amsterdam. He said: “It has been a pitiful season but none of that will matter if we lift the trophy.”Under-fire Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou face the chop if they don’t prevail in the final – cruelly dubbed “El Crapico” by rival fans and pundits.Amorim masterminded Manchester United’s 7-1 semi-final demolition of ten-man Athletic Bilbao.

Uefa changed its rules in 2014 to allow the winners of the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League – but Wenger believes this is “not right”. The ex-Gunners boss said: “No. They should qualify automatically for the Europa League but not necessarily for the Champions League.”Since the rebranding of the Europa League, Uefa’s second biggest continental club competition, in 2009-10, no team lower than 12th has reached the final or won it. Sevilla, 12th in La Liga, lifted the trophy in 2023 while Fulham, who also finished 12th in the Prem in the 2009-10 campaign, lost the final to Atletico Madrid in 2010.Wenger departed Arsenal in 2018 before being appointed FIFA’s head of global football development a year later. He has proposed a raft of controversial changes, including tweaks to the offside rule and a biennial World Cup.The United-Spurs final is the fifth all-English European showpiece.Life on board a ferry headed to BilbaoBy Dave CourtnadgeI HAD no idea what to expect after booking a 32-hour ferry trip from Portsmouth to Bilbao to see Manchester United hopefully beat Spurs in Wednesday’s Europa League final.I’d also read reviews of the Portsmouth to Bilbao ferry ride, calling it “one of the most serene ways to travel to the Continent”.I’d heard the BBC podcast on Man Utd and West Ham fans having a full-blown riot on a boat trip to Holland in the 1980s.The reality of my trip so far, thankfully, is nothing like either of those.The atmosphere has been absolutely brilliant, with fans of both clubs mixing in the pub long before the 10pm departure, and in the ferry bar long after last orders at midnight.There’s even an Arsenal fan out here hoping to see Spurs lose too.I enjoyed a few in the beer garden of the Ship and Castle near the ferry port on the sunny Sunday before we took off.I’d be talking to some fans about the mad boat trip ahead and plans for Bilbao for 10 minutes before we’d establish who one another supported.There’s still good banter about both sides’ abysmal seasons, but with a lot of the chat being about who is actually worse, not better.Plenty of Murphy’s and some classic cabaret just added to the holiday mood once we were on board.We ramped up the booze cruise vibes at about 1am by venturing out on to the top deck (I was pretty amazed they left the doors unlocked considering the clientele on board).But after convincing one particularly drunk shipmate that he’d be in serious trouble if he jumped in the sea, I thought it safer to head back inside.After another nightcap I returned to my four-man cabin which thankfully I have all to myself.Because my cabin is in the middle of the boat it’s pitch black. That, coupled with not being disturbed half-way through the night by my two young kids, meant I slept like a baby.As for sea-sickness, there’s not so much a gentle rocking of the waves but rather a weird constant jolty sensation like you get when you start a car that has left me a bit wobbly.I’m sure it’s nothng to do with all that Murphy’s anyway.I’ve at least managed to hold down my breakfast, which I ate surrounded by the normal holidaymakers, not football fans, who make up about half of the passengers on board.Not surprisingly, most of the supporters were still in bed at that point, but I’m sure I’ll catch them in the bar later for the quiz and more cabaret.Chants of “Keano, Keano…” from down the corridor suggests some are now starting to rise.As for me, it’s time to check out that top deck again…Tottenham were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final, while Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final in the same year.United beat Chelsea in the 2008 Champions League final and Spurs KO’d Wolves to win the 1972 Uefa Cup.Tottenham have already beaten the Manchester outfit on three occasions this season – twice in the league and once in the Carabao Cup.

      Watch Mo Salah’s ‘miss of the season’ from yards out as Liverpool star is forced to wait for Prem records

      by

      MOHAMED SALAH produced the “miss of the season” during Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat to Brighton.The soon-to-be crowned Player of the Season could have wrapped up another Premier League Golden Boot there and then.Liverpool forward Mo Salah missed a golden chance to score at Brighton on MondayFans have called Salah’s fluff the ‘miss of the season’ after the attacker rolled his shot wide from five yards outWith Liverpool leading 2-1 at the Amex, Salah had a huge chance laid on a plate from Cody Gakpo’s low cross in the 54th minute.The Egyptian, poised just seven yards from goal and almost dead centre between the empty posts, looked certain to score.But the Ballon d’Or contender dragged his shot wide, with Bart Verbruggen’s goal gaping.As the home crowd jeered, Salah sulked into net in frustration, with the commentator saying: “Wow. An unbelievable miss from a player of his standards.”READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSIt meant Salah’s quest to break the Premier League’s goal involvement record went on.Salah’s double against Southampton on 8 March took him to 27 goals and 17 assists in 29 matches, just three goal involvements short of the record of 47, held jointly by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.And after the footage went viral on social media, fans were equally in shock as they mocked one of the Prem’s greatest ever stars.One wrote: “What a miss! Don’t let this guy near the Ballon d’Or.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSA second quizzed: “Wow. How can Salah miss from two yards out 😂.”A third added: “Salah just stopped caring the moment Liverpool won the title.”Cheeky Mo Salah reveals Liverpool’s Premier League title felt way better without Klopp, Mane and FirminoSalah also looked certain to beat the record of 20 Prem assists in a season, jointly held by Arsenal’s Thierry Henry and Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne.But he has provided just one goal and one assist in eight matches, leaving him still one short of the goal involvement record and two short of the assist tally.Salah’s miss also appeared to upset many Fantasy Football managers, who had been banking on him to earn them points.One wrote: “Mo Salah has just missed the target COMPLETELY from yards out. I am so done bro. Nah I’m fuming!”Salah is still one short of the goal involvement record and two short of the assist recordSalah, currently on 28 Prem goals this season, has five more than his closest Golden Boot rival Alexander Isak.Isak will need to score a handful against Everton on the final day, while Liverpool hosts FA Cup champs Crystal Palace.Arne Slot’s champions were leading at the time of Salah’s miss thanks to earlier strikes from Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai. Those goals came either side of a first-half equaliser by Yasin Ayari.Read More on The SunTo rub salt into Salah’s wounds, Brighton hit back again to make it 2-2 when Kaoru Mitoma netted his third goal in four games in the 69th minute.The Seagulls, chasing European qualification, then secured all three points courtesy of a late goal from Jack Hinshelwood.
