A shirt number for Jude Bellingham is yet to be revealed. The midfielder, who is set to sign for the club after a fee was agreed with Borussia Dortmund, has worn the 22 shirt for Birmingham, Dortmund and England to date but that number is currently occupied by Antonio Rüdiger.
Vinicius had a difficult personal year in 2022-23, as he was subjected to terrible racist remarks on a regular basis, but he will not flee his tormentors and is anticipated to sign a new deal this summer that will keep him in Madrid until 2027.
