Each team: Ter Stegen is injured and will not leave the team this summer, Joan Garcia may wear 12 or 13

August 7: The Spanish media Daily Sports wrote an article analyzing the allocation of Barcelona players' numbers in the new season.

Over the past few weeks, Barcelona has been working tirelessly to achieve the urgent goal of returning to the 1:1 rule. Barcelona hopes to get rid of La Liga financial control after completing the departure of several players, reaching a new sponsorship agreement with Congo, and the club's claim that the auditor will soon approve the transfer of 475 VIP seats at Camp Nou Stadium for 100 million euros.

Once this problem is resolved, Barcelona will have the ability to register for its new players and for players who will be promoted to the first team. Then, the jersey numbers that Flick's players will wear in the 2025/26 season will be announced. In this regard, there have been some confirmed results and some suspense. The biggest change in the

Barcelona jersey number is that Yamal will inherit the club's legend No. 10. This number once belonged to superstars such as Maradona, Romario, Ronaldinho or Messi. Yamal took advantage of Fati's chance to leave the team and obtained the number, which triggered a huge media and commercial response as his new jersey has become a hot sale.

Another surety is that new forward member Rashford will be wearing No. 14, as he did during his trip to Asia. A few days before his arrival in Barcelona, there were speculation that he would choose the number 19 that Yamal left behind, because he had crossed the number early in Manchester United. However, Rashford chose Cruyff's No. 14, although the latter never crossed it during his time at Barcelona.

However, there is more uncertainty about the jersey number of Barcelona's other important signing Joan Garcia. During the Asian tour, Joan-Garcia used No. 1 due to Ter Stegen's absence. Unless there is an unexpected turn, Ter Stegen will not leave Barcelona after being injured again this summer, so Joan Garcia must choose another number. Currently, among the commonly used numbers of goalkeepers, No. 12 is available, and if Penia eventually leaves the team, No. 13 will also be vacant.

In addition to registering for Rashford and Joan Garcia, the club also plans to register for Szczesny who has signed a new contract and has been assigned No. 25, as well as Gerald Martin and Bernal who will become official first-team players. As for Badji, his number has not been determined yet. In principle, he will register as a second team player, but if there is still salary space after completing other priority registrations, the club may register for Badge. If that happens, he will wear the No. 19 he wore when he first appeared as a Barcelona player.

Therefore, while waiting for possible departures, the No. 12, 18 and 22 jerseys will remain vacant. The most likely scenario is that Gerald Martin chose No. 18, a number that Alba, one of his idols at Barcelona, once wore. On the other hand, Bernal will also need to choose a new number.

To sum up, the club expects to complete registration in La Liga for all players in the next few days, even before the Gambel Cup. The most reasonable arrangement is for Barcelona to announce the new jersey number before this date, as traditional player appearance ceremony will be held in front of fans in order of player numbers.

In any case, it should be noted that the club did not announce the final number until the summer window closed on September 3. It was announced at the time that Ormo would wear No. 20 and Paul Victor would wear No. 18.
