Joao Cancelo has officially left Manchester City, completing a move to Al-Hilal after falling out with Pep Guardiola over game time. City managed to sell him for £21 million, leading to discussions among fans about who might take his vacant number 7 shirt. Some suggest new signings like Oscar Bobb or Savinho, while others mention Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, or Ilkay Gundogan as potential candidates. Despite sustaining a leg injury, many believe Bobb is ready for a greater role within the first-team and would excel wearing the iconic number 7 shirt.
Cancelo initially wore the number 27 shirt before switching to number 7 following Raheem Sterling’s departure to Chelsea. His move to number 7 highlighted his attacking abilities and technical skills, making fans speculate on who should inherit the number next.

As discussions continue among City fans, the anticipation grows for the announcement of the next player to take on the iconic number 7 shirt at Manchester City.
