Suarez gets Barca’s No. 9
Luis Suarez has been given the No.9 shirt at Barcelona after his €88million summer transfer from Liverpool was confirmed on Friday.
The striker wears the number when he is on international duty with Uruguay, but this will be the first time he has taken the shirt at club level since emerging on the world stage.
While at Ajax, Suarez was the No.16 before being given the famous No.7 shirt at Anfield, after joining Liverpool in January 2011.
Replica jerseys with the player’s name and number were already on sale at Camp Nou and the club was expecting a surge of interest from supporters.
Suarez scoops the No.9 shirt that was previously worn by Chile star, Alexis Sanchez, who was involved in a big-money move last week, having finalised his €40m transfer to Arsenal.
A star-studded Barca forward line will see Suarez team up with Lionel Messi and Brazil star, Neymar. It is an array of high-profile talent that will have Barca’s marketing department licking their lips in anticipation.
