According to the Daily Sports Daily, Barcelona will soon announce the jersey number for the new season. If Ter Stegen stays in the team, then new goalkeeper Joan Garcia is likely to wear the No. 12 jersey.

Over the past few weeks, Barcelona has been working tirelessly to achieve the goal of returning to the 1:1 rule. With a series of transfer operations completed, as well as a new sponsorship agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and an upcoming audited Camp Nou VIP seating deal (worth 100 million euros), Barcelona is expected to resume normal operations without La Liga intervention.

Once this problem is solved, the club will be able to register for newly introduced players and players promoted from the second team, and then announce the jersey numbers that Barcelona players will wear for the 2025/2026 season. At present, there are some certainty and some unknowns in the attribution of jersey numbers.

Barca's biggest change in jersey number is that Yamal inherited the legendary No. 10 jersey, which was once worn by stars such as Maradona, Romario, Ronaldinho and Messi. Yamal took advantage of Fati's chance to leave the team and got the number, a move that caused a huge response in the media and business, and his new jersey became very popular.

Another sure thing is that the newly joined striker Rashford will wear the No. 14 jersey. There have been rumors that he may choose the number 19 that Yamal left behind because he had crossed the number early in Manchester United. However, the English player ended up choosing Cruyff’s most well-known No. 14 in football.

In contrast, there is more uncertainty in the jersey number of another heavyweight signing of Joan Garcia. During the Asian Tour, he used the No. 1 jersey in the absence of Ter Stegen. However, unless unexpected situations occur, the German goalkeeper will not leave the Camp Nou this summer, so Joan Garcia is going to choose another number. Currently, among the commonly used numbers for goalkeepers, No. 12 is available. If Penia leaves the team, No. 13 will also be vacant.

In addition to registering Rashford and Joan Garcia, the club also plans to register for Szczesny, who has signed a new contract and has been assigned to No. 25, as well as Gerald Martin and Mark Bernal, who are about to become first team members. As for Badji, the initial plan is that he will temporarily retain the registration qualification for the second team, but if there is still a salary space after other priority registration is completed, the club may register for the first team qualification for him. If that happens, he will wear the No. 19 jersey.

Therefore, currently there are 12, 18 and 22 numbers. The most likely scenario is that the Gerald Martin player will wear the No. 18 jersey, the number his idol Alba wore during his time at Barcelona. On the other hand, Bernal also needs to choose a new number.

In short, Barcelona hopes to complete all players' registration work in La Liga in the next few days, and may even be achieved before the upcoming Gambel Cup (August 10). As usual, Barcelona will likely announce new jersey numbers before this, as a traditional new season player debut will be held at that time, showing fans in number order.
