Official: Barcelona jersey numbers for 2021/22 announced: Dembele takes 7, Demir takes 11

Barcelona completed four deals on the deadline day, which saw Rey Manaj leave on loan to Spezia, Emerson joining Tottenham Hotspur, Luuk de Jong joining Barça, and the bombshell: Antoine Griezmann back to Atletico Madrid.

With the summer window now concluded, the club has their set of players ready for the next season, and have announced the official jersey numbers for the season.

There are a few changes in the team, the biggest one of course being that the #10 was vacant for the first time in over a decade. Ansu Fati has taken up the responsibility of wearing the jersey.

Griezmann’s #7 has been taken up by his best friend at the club, Ousmane Dembele. In turn, his #11 has gone to new signing Yusuf Demir, who was promoted to the senior ranks this week.

Highly criticized already, Luuk de Jong gets the #17, previously occupied by Antoine Griezmann in 2019/20, Fransisco Trincao in 2020/21, and very briefly by Fati this season.

Another player who was officially promoted to the first team — Oscar Mingueza — has been given his very well deserved senior number in the form of the #22.

Sergio Aguero will wear the #19 when he returns, and new signings Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia have worn the #9 and #24 respectively already.
