New FC Barcelona signing Sergio Aguero has decided against taking friend Lionel Messi’s famed Number 10 jersey

According to Marca, the number ten shirt at Barcelona is more than a number as the story and the shadow behind it is intimidating
Ibai Llanos joked about it with Gerard Pique during a Twitch session on Sunday evening.
“Nobody’s wearing the ten, right?” he asked.
“There’s nobody with balls”. Pique replied: “Well, I think someone will take it. I told Kun [Sergio Aguero] to take it it, but he doesn’t like the idea.”
Llanos summed up the situation succinctly. “That shirt carries 30 kilos of extra weight,” he said.
Aguero announced on Wednesday afternoon that he’ll wear the number 19 at Barcelona this season, confirming that he decided against wearing the ten.
His future has been much-discussed since Messi left, with the Argentine seemingly joining Barcelona to play alongside his old friend. Latest reports indicate he’s going to push for a move to MLS this winter; he’s out of action at the time of writing due to an injury. He’s expected back in November.

Ligue 1 giants Marseille have entered the race to sign Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo, according to reports.
The academy graduate – who has just one year remaining on his contract with the Blues – has long been expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after an impressive 2020/21 campaign in Belgium with Club Brugge.
Belgian side Genk were thought to be in the driving seat for the 22-year-old.

Tammy Abraham has revealed how Chelsea players Antonio Rudiger and Emerson Palmieri influenced his move to AS Roma.
The striker ended a 17-year association with Chelsea by joining the Serie A club on a permanent basis on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old stated that Rudiger was instrumental in convincing him to join the Italian giants.
“They ( Antonio Rudiger and Emerson Palmieri) loved everything, especially Toni Rudiger, he told me he would always play for Roma again,” Abraham told Roma’s website when asked what Emerson and Rudiger told him about the club.
“Hearing it gave me confidence. As I said, I felt good from day one, I just have to do my best this season and help the team as much as possible.”
And Abraham also revealed that former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who is now the manager of Roma, also played a big part in him moving to the Stadio Olimpico.
“Luckily I trained a couple of times with him, I’ve never played with him in the first team. I know what he’s about, I know he’s a big character around the building”, Abraham said.
“He has won major trophies and had the experience of working with the best players in the world, so for me to work under him is something that makes me very happy, I can’t wait to get started”.
