According to the latest reports, Lewandowski’s transfer to Barcelona is a done deal and all that is left is to complete the formalities. In connection with this, there has been speculation about what jersey number the Polish striker might wear at Camp Nou. There are several options.
It seems that Barcelona fans can look forward to a truly stellar reinforcement. Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich is expected to head to the Camp Nou. What jersey number will he be assigned in his new position?
For a long time, Lewandowski wore the number 9 jersey at Bayern Munich. In Barcelona, however, Memphis Depay has this number. However, there is a lot of speculation about his future, and the Dutchman did not have the minutes he would have liked at the end of the previous season.
So it is possible that Lewandowski will get his nine anyway. Memphis can still leave in the summer, or the club can make an agreement with the player himself to give the star man his number. The Polish striker may also have his say here.
Another possibility is number 7. This is still an attractive jersey number, however, which is currently held by Ousmane Dembélé, who finally extended his contract with the club a few days ago after long negotiations.
However, there is a possibility that he will give his number to Lewandowski and wear the number 11 jersey, which he has worn before. The same happened after Griezmann’s transfer to Barcelona.
However, if we focus on the available numbers, one of them is the jersey with the number 11. It became vacant after the departure of Adama Traoré, who became unnecessary after the arrival of several reinforcements. Moreover, there is a vacant number 17 after the departure of Luuk de Jong.
It’s also possible that Lewandowski will try a completely new number and choose one that no one at the club has yet. It will be up to him.
