La Liga reveals squad numbers for Barcelona new signings Rodri, Anthony Gordon, and Karim Adeyemi
The trio are all registered.
Barcelona have officially confirmed the squad numbers for their latest signings ahead of their opening La Liga fixture of the season against Elche. Rodri will be donning the number 16 jersey, which was previously worn by Fermín López. Anthony Gordon will wear the number 17, while Karim Adeyemi will wear the number 14. Andreas Christensen has been assigned the number 15 after signing a new contract with the club.
João Cancelo, who has not yet been listed on the website, is expected to wear the iconic number 2 that he sported last season. A new signing, Jesse Bisiwu, will be given a squad number for the B team. Fermín López, who vacated the number 16, will now wear the number 7, previously donned by Ferran Torres. Rodri expressed his mixed emotions about giving up the number 16, stating that it had a special place in his heart after several seasons with the first team.
He is confident that the shirt will be in capable hands. The confirmation of these squad numbers is seen as an unofficial sign that the players have been registered, which has been a challenge in the past due to financial constraints and Financial Fair Play regulations. This season, it appears that Barcelona are well on their way to overcoming these obstacles.
