Fermín López registered for first team with number 16

Midfielder to wear the same shirt as worn previously by the likes of Xavi, Sergio Busquets and Pedri

Fermín López is an official first team member. The Andalusian, who has been working with the first team since the preseason, has been awarded the number 16 shirt.

Wearing 32 until now, the Barça Atlètic player has featured in 22 games, scoring three goals.

Historic number

Abde was the last player to wear 16, until he left in the summer. It's a number with quite a history. Sylvinho (2004-09) and Sergio Busquets (2009-14) are the players who kept it the longest, and it once belonged to current coach Xavi Hernández in the 2000/01 season before he adopted his now legendary number 6.

Other players who have worn this number are Oscar García (1995-97), Ciric (1997-99), Mario (2003/04), Douglas (2014/15), Sandro (2015/16), Samper (2016/17) 2018/19), Deulofeu (2017/18), Wague (2019/20), Pjanic (2022/23) and current player Pedri, who has since switched to the number 8.
