Joao Felix, who joined Barcelona on loan from Atletico Madrid, did not ask for the number 10 shirt.
The Portugal international will play at the Nou Camp in 2023/2024.
After completing a loan move to Barcelona, Felix arrived to find the no.10 shirt empty, as Ansu Fati had joined Brighton on loan.
According to SPORT, Felix turned down the opportunity to wear the historic shirt because he did not want to be compared to prior club favorites.
The 23-year-old wants to establish himself and make a name for himself in Barcelona.
Instead, he will wear No. 14 as he attempts to resurrect his career.
Felix struggled to make the expected impact at Atleti after joining from Benfica for €126 million in 2019. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea.
