A season without '10'? Ansu's departure will leave the mythical number free

The FC Barcelona could have a new owner of the dorsal '10' in the next hours if it concretises the exit of Ansu Fati. The one of Bisau has given green light to the Brighton to negotiate with the Barcelona directive and his cession can close this Thursday. With this, the mythical dorsal will remain free and, even, desert during all the season if any of the players of the staff decides to take it or, in his defect, awards him to a signing of last moment.

In this sense, between the names that sound in the market culé, only Joao Félix would be in conditions to dress the T-shirt '10' Barcelona. However, considering the present of the luso and the terms of his arrival (to loan by a year and without option of compulsory purchase), is difficult that the managerial deliver him a dorsal with so much weight to a player that not even will have ensured the titularity.

Gündogan, Frenkie, Pedri... The possible heirs of the '10' of the Barça

In the staff culé are varied the players that would be had to 'inherit' the '10' of Ansu. The one of Bisau followed suit does a pair of seasons after the goodbye of Leo Messi, but had little luck since. Now, footballers like Frenkie of Jong (has carried the '21' from his arrival in 2019), Pedri (at present luce the '8') or Gavi (took the '6' after his renewal) would be in conditions of lucir the mythical dorsal in his back.

The own can do Ílkay Gündogan, the one who took the '22' that Raphinha left free when occupying the '11' that lució Ferran Torres the past season. The one of Foios followed suit taking the '7' freed by Ousmane Dembélé after his sale to Paris Saint-Germain, by which is almost sure that neither Ferran neither Raphinha will want to change again of dorsal. In the Manchester City, Gündo was captain in the last seasons with the '8' in his back.

Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Messi, the last big '10' of the Barça

Before Messi, Ronaldinho knew to carry the '10' during five seasons in which it won it everything with the Barça. Although his performance went down notably in his last year, the Brazilian left a big bequeathed in the club, opening the way to the golden era of the club. Previously, Rivaldo triumphed in Catalonia between 1997 and 2002 with the '10' in his back. Between the two Brazilians had took the '10' the Argentinian Juan Román Riquelme, the one who had a grey step by the Barça in the 2002/03.
