BARCELONA still have the No.7 shirt available – but who could take it?
Barcelona transfers squad numbers
Barcelona have handed Philippe Coutinho the No 14 shirt following the departure of Javier Mascherano – but that leaves one major number free for a potential new transfer.
The No 7 shirt remains open for a world class signing, with many suggesting Antoine Griezmann – Atletico Madrid's current No 7 – could be that man.
Barca have been linked with plenty of attacking options during the January transfer window, including several Premier League stars.

Take a look through the gallery to reveal seven players linked to Barcelona who could take the No 7 kit.
