His name has not yet been decided, while the number 7 worn by Eden Hazard went to the brilliant Brazilian Vinicius Junior, while the Asensio shirt number 11 went to the other Brazilian, Rodrygo.

The Brazilian Rodrigo, who wore shirt No. 21 this season, got Asensio No. 11, in recognition of their important, effective and decisive role in the team’s results, especially last season in which they contributed strongly to the “Merengue” winning the Spanish League “La Liga” and the European Champions League “Champions League.” ».
