La Liga has officially confirmed the new squad numbers for Barcelona’s summer signings following the completion of their registrations. The update details jersey assignments for high-profile arrivals like Rodri and Anthony Gordon while also highlighting the uncertain squad status of players left without numbers.
New Shirt Numbers Confirmed for Major Additions
Rodri, who arrived as Barcelona’s marquee signing of the summer transfer window, has been assigned the No. 16 shirt, according to La Liga’s official squad list. The midfielder retains the same number he wore during his time at Manchester City and with the Spanish national team. Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon takes over the No. 17 shirt, a change that signals a shifting squad hierarchy after Barcelona’s recent transfer activity. Karim Adeyemi has been handed the No. 14 shirt, a jersey historically associated with Johan Cruyff and previously worn by Marcus Rashford. Additionally, Andreas Christensen has been officially registered with the No. 15 shirt.
Squad Changes Leave Casado and Fort Without Numbers
While several new arrivals secured their places, the roster updates left midfielder Marc Casado and defender Hector Fort without assigned squad numbers. According to the La Liga squad list, Casado lost the No. 17 shirt to Gordon. Both Casado and Fort are currently training separately while they await potential moves away from the club. Fort spent the previous season on loan at Elche before returning to Barcelona. Joao Cancelo remains another notable player awaiting final registration, with the Portuguese full-back expected to take the No. 2 shirt once the process is completed. Roony Bardghji is also currently without an assigned number due to an injury recovery following surgery on his right knee.
