One of the intricacies that follows a transfer is a player has to pick a new shirt number, often moving to a club where their previous number is already in use, and that is the case with Lionel Messi at PSG, with the Parisian club offering him no.30.
Messi had been offered the No.10 shirt by his friend, Neymar, but he refused and one of the alternatives was the No.19, which he also wore in his youth.

The No.30, though, is likely to be chosen, even though it’s a number that usually is reserved for goalkeepers in Ligue 1.
Ligue 1 are excited to welcome such a star as Messi and will have no major issues with that being changed for the Argentine’s arrival.
