FC Barcelona will try to keep the #10 shirt open for the next season, according to new rumors which contradict news that Philippe Coutinho was offered the shirt.
The Brazilian has worn #14 to this point, but Rey Manaj wore it in Barcelona’s first match of the season, fueling speculation. However, until the transfer window closes, shirt numbers are not permanent.
Reports in the media said that Coutinho would wear the famed #10, which had in the past been worn by the likes of Romario, Ronaldinho, Diego Maradona, Rivaldo and of course, Lionel Messi.
