Barcelona have promoted full-back Moussa Wague to their first-team squad next season, it has been confirmed.
Wague has been handed the number 16 shirt at the club. He will be the eleventh player to wear it since 1995, the first year in which the league assigned fixed numbers to the players.
He will provide back-up to Nelson Semedo in the right-back position.
Wague joined the Blaugrana last summer in a move worth in the region of €5m from Belgian club Eupen and spent last season in the club’s B team.
The report states that Barca want to push Sergi Roberto into a central midfielder role and see Wague as having the potential to challenge Semedo for a first-team spot at right-back.
Wague described his Barca La Liga first-team debut against Huesca in April as a "dream come true" and also appeared in league matches against Celta Vigo and Eibar late on in the campaign.

Thank God, we don't have to see Roberto struggling at RB anymore. Infact, now I don't see Roberto fitting into the starting 11 anymore. In midfield , We have De Jong, Arthur, Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal who are way better than him, but Valverde has Favourites, & don't be shocked to see Roberto still starting ahead, in Midfield or as a winger as he's done all throughout Valverde's stay at Barca, if there's no space at RB, he starts him Midfield, if there's no space there than as a winger .
