Lewandowski moved to Barcelona this transfer window for a reported fee of €45m + €5m in add-ons. The Polish international is set to lead Barcelona's attack next season as a true #9 in and around the penalty area.
However, it is now known yet if Robert Lewandowski will wear number 9 for FC Barcelona next season. Let us find out why.
It is expected Lewandowski will take the No. 9 shirt
Which Shirt Number Will Robert Lewandowski Wear For FC Barcelona?
Memphis Depay, who will only be the third choice next season and is desperately looking for game time before the World Cup, currently wears shirt number 9. Meanwhile, marquee signing Robert Lewandowski is eager to make a difference in a new league, and will definitely be the starting centre forward.
Depay wear No. 9 currently
On the wings there is also a lot of competition for Memphis Depay since FC Barcelona renewed with Ousmane Dembelé until 2024 and signed Raphinha from Leeds United. Additionally, Barça can count on Ansu Fati, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres in attack. All in all, there is a lot of pressure on Memphis Depay in a World Cup year.
It is expected he will take the number nine shirt, currently worn by Memphis Depay, even if the Netherlands international fails to secure a transfer away.
On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski consistently wears shirt number 9 since the 2011-12 campaign when he still played for Borussia Dortmund. Before that, Robert Lewandowski wore numbers 7 and 8, but those two numbers are not vacant now.
Potential numbers that Lewandowski could receive in case Memphis Depay does not leave include 15, 16, 17, 27, 28, and 29.

In other news, Lewandowski's football shirt was already available to buy without a number. However, then Barcelona run out of the letter 'W'.
A fan attempted to purchase a shirt with the forward's name on the back but couldn't.
"Why can't we buy jerseys with Lewandowski?""Because we don't have the letter W and because he has two in his name, we have run out."
Martin Braithwaite is the only other Barcelona player with the letter 'W' in his name.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
