Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappé already thinking about changing his number

“Hello everyone. I’ll try to speak in Spanish. It’s incredible to be here. Incredible. I slept for so many years with the dream of playing for Real Madrid. Today, that dream has come true, I’m a very happy man. I want to thank President Pérez who believed in me from day one. A lot has happened, but I want to thank him. I also want to thank all the people for getting me here, it’s been hard work, but we won. I’m here, I’m a Real Madrid player. I see my whole family happy, my mother crying. It’s an incredible day for me. Since I was a child, I had a dream, it’s to play here. Being here means a lot to me” These were Kylian Mbappé’s first words as a Real Madrid player.

Now that Madrid fans have finally been able to see the Bondy player wearing this white jersey, a question arises: when will he start under Carlo Ancelotti? The player would rather intend to play the summer tour in the United States, but the Madrid staff is not particularly keen, preferring that he rest well. Everything indicates that we will have to wait until August 14 and this European Super Cup against Atalanta to see him start.

A legendary number

At the same time, his jersey with the number 9 is selling like hotcakes, and everyone is snapping it up in Madrid, causing stock shortages everywhere. A jersey that could quickly become a collector’s item, since he could wear this number 9 for only one season. Indeed, as indicated AShe has his sights set on Luka Modric’s 10.

The Croatian should live his last season at the Santiago Bernabéu, and Kylian Mbappé intends to get his prestigious number back next summer. A bit like he did in Paris, quickly swapping his number 29 for the number 7. A number even more legendary than the number 9 – which could be taken by Endrick – and which logically has an additional weight. KM9 will become KM10…
