The unknowns of Barça’s numbers

The '10' left vacant by Ansu Fati goes to Lamine Yamal, but the '12', the '14' released by Pablo Torre and the 22 are still not assigned.

There is one extra center back, Araujo's number 4 or Christensen's number 15, and it is still to be seen what will happen to transfers and how the transfer of keepers will be resolved.

Barça starts today with a preseason with an afternoon session, but it is still to look at what the team of Hansi Flick will look like: whether there will be more reinforcements or just that of Joan Garcia. One of the biggest strangers on the way to the season is the shirt numbers of the players.

From today, and with the players we have, the figures are '10', because of the departure of Ansu Fati, '12', '14' because of the departure of Pablo Torre, and '22' are not assigned to see what happens to the transfers and other signs that can come to the team.

What is clear is that Lamine Yamal will retain the number '10'. It is the new standard carrier for Fans of Barcelona. Moreover, young players such as Héctor Fort and Gerard Martín will also have to wear one in their second year with the first team. The song '12' that Joao Félix once wore is not signed now, just like the song '22'.

The allocation of keepers is the problem that will cause the most controversy. Ter Stegen has had the number 1 so far, although Joan Garcia's arrival could leave him without it. The number 13 of Iñaki Peña could go to the Ter Stegen if he stays, or to Szczesny, depending on superstition. The resident of Alicante has assumed that he will not continue.

Whether or not there will be more departure will still be seen. There is one middle back left. He is between Christensen and Araujo, between number 15 and number 4, and it is not clear whether Pau Víctor, who is wearing the number 18, will continue. Oriol Romeu returns from a loan, but will not stay.
