Mbappe could wear the number 10 shirt at Real Madrid next season, the same one he wears for the French national team. However, according to Marca, Kylian did not request that number for himself.
However, the Madrid club wants to give him the number 10. They believe that this number will boost shirt sales, support marketing, strengthen the brand and emphasize Mbappe's status as a leader.
After the transfer of James Rodriguez, this number belonged to the legendary Luka Modric. After the Club World Cup, the Croatian player will leave Real Madrid and, most likely, join Milan, so the number will remain vacant.
Recall that Kylian moved to Real Madrid last summer as a free agent. This season, the Frenchman has played in 56 matches, scored 43 goals and provided 5 assists. The Transfermarkt portal values the player at 180 million euros.
