The No.10 jersey at Barcelona became available after Ansu Fati moved to Brighton on a season-long loan.

According to reports, summer loan signing Joao Felix was interested in the vacant jersey, but ended up not taking it.

Joao Felix took up the No.14 upon joining the club on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid.

Reports claim that the Portugal international avoided the No.10 jersey to avoid extra spotlight.

Felix wants to rebuild his career at Barcelona, after last season’s troubles.

Also, the club feels Ansu Fati may get offended if his number is given out, and could be interpreted as though he is being pushed out of the club.

For Joao Felix, it was in his best interest to avoid every drama.
