Kevin Prince Boateng will wear the No.19 shirt during his loan stay with Barcelona, the club have confirmed.

The Spanish giants yesterday confirmed the signing of the Ghanaian international on an initial loan deal from Sassuolo with an €8m option to buy at the end of the season.

The number was recently vacated by Munir El Haddadi who has left to join Sevilla in the ongoing transfer window.

Before he became the most famous number 10 in the world, Leo Messi also wore the number 19 shirt for FC Barcelona. When he first came into the first team, the squad number was occupied by club legend Ronaldinho, up until the Brazilian's departure in 2008/09.
