Barcelona confirm new shirt number for Brian Farinas after first team promotion
The youngster takes Ronald Araujo’s shirt number.
Barcelona have officially announced that Brian Farinas will now be part of the club's first team for the upcoming 2026-27 season. The midfielder will don the No. 4 shirt, taking its place from Ronald Araujo, who has departed for Liverpool on a loan. Farinas' arrival was a surprise, as he was initially set to depart at the start of the summer transfer window.
However, his impressive display in pre-season trials under Hansi Flick has secured his place in the senior squad. The young talent, who has been with Barcelona since 2018, now hopes to secure regular first-team action. Despite the fierce competition for positions, Flick has expressed his faith in the young player, praising his commitment and adaptability across multiple positions.
