Firpo No.24, Wague No.16, Todibo No.6... Barca's squad numbers confirmed

  /  Rick

Ernesto Valverde has 21 first team players plus the B team and Juvenil A. 

Two starters

In addition to de Jong and Griezmann, Barça have also added two squad players. Neto (€26m + €9m in add-ons) arrives to replace Jasper Cillessen and provide competition for Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Junior Firpo (€18m + €12m in add-ons) joins to compete at left-back with Jordi Alba. Right-back Moussa Wague is promoted from the B team. 

However, there are also three more B team and U19 team players regularly training and, in some cases, playing at the moment: Carles Perez, Ansu Fati and Iñaki Peña. 

Of all those names, though, Griezmann and De Jong are the only regulars. 

Malcom, the biggest sale

As for outgoings, Thomas Vermaelen joined Vissel Kobe for free, while Douglas also left for nothing. Andre Gomes joined Everton for €25m after a successful loan spell. 

Denis Suarez moved to Celta, as did Rafinha, albeit only on loan. Philippe Coutinho also left on loan, joining Bayern for €8.5m for the year. The German club have an option to buy. Cillessen joined Valencia for €35m and Malcom was sold to Zenit for more than €40m, the club's biggest sale of the summer. Murillo and Boateng also left after loan spells.
