Last summer, two Catalan club newcomers finally became official team members and in the middle of the week will have the opportunity to wear "Barcelona" jerseys for the first time. On Monday, it was officially announced that the Turkish Arda Turan chose the number 7 for this season, which previously belonged to the forward Pedro Rodriguez who transferred to "Chelsea" in London. Previously, this number has also been worn by players like Henrik Larsson, Eidur Gudjohnsen, and David Villa in "Barcelona" club. Until now, the Turkish player played with the number 10 jerseys in the teams of "Galatasaray" in Istanbul and "Atletico" in Madrid. Aleix Vidal, acquired from the "Sevilla" team, chose the number 22 - the same one he wore in the Andalusian team. In "Barcelona" club, this number has been worn by players like Daniel Alves, Geovanni, Eric Abidal, Michael Reiziger, Frank de Boer, Luis Garcia, Albert Jorquera, and Javier Saviola. A. Turan and A. Vidal were officially included in the Barcelona team today after FIFA sanctions were lifted, which were imposed on the Catalan club for violations of registration rules for underage players. As the newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo" claims, Barcelona's football section will be complemented by a total of 77 football players of various ages in January of this year.
