Barcelona Hand Messi No. 10

Barcelona are ready to hand Lionel Messi a new shirt number.

With Ronaldinho now sold to AC Milan, Barca management are ready to hand the Brazilian’s old No10 to Messi for the new season, says Sport.

Barca won’t assign numbers until the end of preseason and a source said: “Nothing is decided, but Messi wearing the No10 next season seems the most natural, a circumstance that everyone assumes beyond discussion.”
