The decision means Memphis Depay will now have to take on another number, although he has been linked with a departure in the last few weeks.

"It was a decision by the club," Laporta said when asked about taking the number away from Memphis, as per Football Espana.

"For reasons that interest the club, for image, for publicity. We thought it was the right decision. It was done with respect to Memphis, who understood it perfectly. Full respect to Memphis."
