What number will be written on the Real Madrid jersey printed with the name “Mbappé”?
The departure of Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain, at the end of the season, is now beyond any doubt. The identity of his future club, even if nothing has yet been made official, hardly matters either. In all likelihood, the native of Bondy will be a Real Madrid player during the next financial year.
On the other hand, the number he will wear at the “White House” leaves room for more uncertainty. A priori, it should not keep the same as at PSG, namely the 7, since Vinicius Jr already wears it. Recovering the 10, currently owned by Luka Modric, is a possibility given that the Croatian international will leave the Merengue team at the end of the season.
Heir to Benzema?
According to Ace, the captain of the France team should inherit the 9 at Real Madrid. Since Karim Benzema left the legendary Spanish club to join Saudi Arabia, this number has been left vacant. The Iberian media also specifies that the former Monegasque wishes to be presented at the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium before the start of Euro 2024.
“It’s not going to change the way I play too much whether I have 10, 12 or 29. For me, it’s the same. I know this is a historic number for the French. For me, it won’t change anything.”he declared before the 2022 World Cup, after recovering number 10 with the Blues.
