Lionel Messi is close to leaving Barcelona after breaking the 20-year bond. This incident is incredible When it finally happens Who will wear the club’s prestigious number 10 jersey? Surprisingly, the name of Martin Brathwaite came up in this discussion. Who has doubts about getting a place in the original XI! Even the fact that he will be on the field as a regular substitute next season is not certain.
According to Spanish media 20 Minitos, Brathwaite, who joined Barça since last season from Legan, has expressed interest in wearing his number 10 jersey when Messi leaves. The Danish forward also expressed his wish to new manager Ronald Koman.
Luis Suárez and Osman Dembélé were injured and Barcelona bought Brathwaite from Leganés in the middle of last season. He also paid 18 million euros for his buyout clause. Spending such a large amount of money behind him raised the eyebrows of many. Bará heard no less criticism. If Brathwaite gets the club’s traditional number 10 jersey there, it’s safe to assume that the response from the fans won’t be good.
However, wearing the number 10 jersey is nothing new for Brathwaite. He later played for Middlesbrough in the English league. He wore the shirt with the number 7 while he was in Leganés. However, most of the time the 29-year-old footballer played there in jersey number 25. He currently wears jersey number 19 in Barcelona.
But in the end, if jersey number 10 goes to Brathwaite, it won’t be a surprise. Barcelona have asked Luis Suárez, another senior player on the team, to find a new club in the meantime. Atoyan Griezmann will play this season with his favorite number 7 jersey. The club has no intention of staying with Philippe Coutinho. In that case, even if the elusive dream comes true, it can become Brathwaite!
In that case, the eyes are forced to rise to the forehead. Because, in addition to Messi, there are in Barcelona legends such as Lazlo Kubala (Luis Suárez (Spain)), Diego Maradona, Pep Guardiola, Risto Stichkov, Romario, Giorgio Hazi, Rivaldo, Juan Roman Riquelme and Ronaldinho. Brathwaite smells compared to that!
