They deny that the Barça offered him the '10' of Leo Messi to Coutinho

The game of the Argentinian star Leo Messi of the FC Barcelona with direction to the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has caused a true earthquake in the City Condal in this summer. A total of seventeen seasons, since it debuted with the first team in 2004 in front of the Espanyol, have remained backwards in the memory of majestuosas played and goals. But now, in the Catalan entity pose a big problem: What do with the dorsal 10? During his stage like professional, 'The Flea' dressed three numbers to the back: the 30 in his debut, the 19 during two years and the magic 'Ten', inherited of Ronaldinho after his exit, and that carried during twelve years.

In principle, especuló that the Barcelona club offered it to him to the Brazilian Coutinho, the one who remained without T-shirt, since Rey Manaj already did with the dorsal '14' that it was of his property until the past course, which lost almost in his whole by an injury. However, sources consulted by the newspaper Sport ensure that the intention of the Barça is that the '10' remain free at least during the present campaign 2021/22, no in a clear homage to Messi, but yes to way of expression of respect to one or the biggest footballer blaugrana in his history.

It costs to remember, that the rule of LaLiga does not allow to withdraw a T-shirt with a number in concrete, by what, although in the breast of the club has arrived to value this possibility, the '10' will keep on being a dorsal fixed in the first staff of the Barça. Anyway, it is LaLiga the one who has the last decision in this regard, and up to now has been cutting in not allowing this type of actions or gesture, not even to recognise the path of legends died.

The League prevents the retreat of the '10'

The subject valued in several occasions, by reasons in mourning as it was the case of the Seville and the Espanyol, after the demises of Antonio Door and Dani Jarque, respectively. And in others, for offering the recognition to a career of attainments, the one who would be in this case with 'The Flea', after the goodbye of Raúl González of the Real Madrid and the attempt to withdraw the dorsal number '7'.

The competition prevents to withdraw dorsal due to the fact that, in Spain, the professional numbers go of the 1 to the 25 for the first staff and of the 26 to the 50 for canteranos, contrary to other countries like Italy or England where the staff can lucir dorsal of the 1 to the 99. If the Barça wanted to withdraw the dorsal, then LaLiga would ask him to the club of the City Condal that reduced his staff to 24 professional players, losing like this a professional index card.
