Bradley Barcola is edging closer to becoming a Liverpool player, and now another question has started exciting the Kop: which shirt number will the French winger wear at Anfield? 👀🔴
With the No.11 shirt left vacant following Mohamed Salah’s departure, many fans immediately imagined Barcola stepping into one of Liverpool’s most iconic numbers. And honestly… Barcola wearing No.11 would be a statement! 😮💨🔥
But there’s a twist! 👀
Liverpool currently have several numbers available for the incoming winger, including 11, 13, 16, 17, 24, 26, 27 and 29.
And No.29 could actually be the biggest contender.
Why? Because Barcola has a special connection with that number. During his childhood, he played FIFA and became attached to the character Alex Hunter from The Journey, who wore No.29. Barcola later chose the same number when he turned professional and has reportedly described it as a number he does not want to give up. 🎮⚽️❤️
That makes the situation even more interesting. Liverpool may have No.11 available, but Barcola could choose to stay loyal to the number that has followed him throughout his rise from a young football fan to a Champions League-winning superstar. 😱🔥
And this isn’t just a shirt-number story. Barcola’s expected arrival represents a huge statement from Liverpool, with reports putting the agreement with PSG at around £106 million initially, potentially rising to £123 million with add-ons. The 23-year-old arrives after an impressive spell in Paris, where he won major domestic honours and back-to-back Champions League titles.
So now the big question for Liverpool fans is simple…
👕 Barcola No.11?
👕 Barcola No.29?
👕 Or should he choose another available number and create his own Liverpool legacy? 🤔🔥
Personally, No.11 would look absolutely CRAZY on him at Anfield! 😍🔴
But if Barcola sticks with No.29, the story behind it makes the number even more special. ❤️🔥
