GOAL has compiled a complete list of shirt numbers for Pep Guardiola’s Man City squad for the 2023/24 season, including new signing Kovacic.
After a historic season in which Manchester City won the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, Pep Guardiola’s squad faces a fresh task as the treble champions attempt to repeat their success.
Since Pep Guardiola’s arrival, City have been a dominant force in the Premier League. Despite their success, the Sky Blues have no plans to slow down and remain the Premier League title favorites.
Their star-studded lineup doesn’t have many holes, but they’ll need to go shopping to replace some key players who are leaving.
They signed Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea to bolster their midfield, but what shirt number does the player wear at the Etihad?

The Croatian midfielder has taken up the number eight shirt left vacant by Ilkay Gundogan’s free transfer to Barcelona. Kovacic also wore the same jersey number during his final two years at Stamford Bridge, and wears it for Croatia as well.
Riyad Mahrez has already left the club to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, and more departures are very likely, with Bernardo Silva, Aymeric Laporte, and Kyle Walker all looking to leave According to Goal
Man City are also close to completing a deal to recruit highly-rated RB Leipzig center-back Josko Gvardiol, so there is still plenty of movement that could result in a reshuffling of the squad numbers.

Manchester City squad numbers
Man City still has a few decent numbers available for any new signings to take up.
Surprisingly, none of City’s first-team goalkeepers have taken the conventional goalkeeper’s favorite number one position, which has been vacant since Claudio Bravo’s departure in 2020. It is unlikely to be taken because there is no need for reinforcements between the sticks.
