Agüero Gets Barça's No. 19 Kit - Coutinho Forced To Wear No. 10?
Confirming previous rumors, FC Barcelona handed Agüero the No. 19 shirt.
Aguero did not want to wear No. 10 reportedly
Sport journalist Albert Rogé (@albert_roge) reports that Piqué told Agüero to wear the number 10 jersey, but the Argentine has rejected it.
Number 10 Only Free Barça Shirt Number Currently
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reports that Ronald Koeman is still counting on Coutinho. FC Barcelona would even have offered Coutinho the No. 10 shirt.
La Liga only allows numbers between 1 and 25 for first-team players
At the moment, and pending that there may be news with the departures of Pjanic (No. 8) and Umtiti (No. 23), the No. 10 is the only number available in the squad (No. 25 is reserved for a goalkeeper, numbers above 25 for youth players).
Barcelona has no free numbers left
Coutinho, meanwhile, does not want to add extra pressure that would be there by wearing the No. 10. Even so, he has not ruled out wearing it and, if there are no exits between now and Saturday, it would be the number he would wear against Athletic if he enters the match squad.
The Brazilian wore the No. 7 after joining from Liverpool and last season he wore the No. 14. The No. 14 for the moment has been given to Manaj. Coutinho already carried the 10 in Liverpool and Bayern.
Do you think any player will wear the No. 10 shirt at Barcelona in the 2021-22 season? Comment below.
