What jersey number will Kylian Mbappe wear at Real Madrid?
According to Fabrizio Romano, Kylian Mbappe will wear the No. 9 shirt as a Real Madrid player in his first season. Karim Benzema previously wore the shirt but it was not taken up by anyone following his departure to Al-Ittihad in 2023.
Kylian wears the No. 10 shirt while representing the France national team and wore No. 7 at PSG. However, both numbers are already taken at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luka Modric dons the No. 10 shirt while Vinicius Jr wears the iconic No. 7 at the club.
Romano reported that Mbappe or his entourage did not demand the No. 10 shirt from the club as Modric is set to renew his contract for another season. Mbappe could supposedly wait to take up the No. 10 shirt after Modric's departure from the club.
As per reports, Mbappe could play in the center forward position at the club, with Vinicius Jr to his left and Rodrygo on the right wing.
According to Diario AS, Los Blancos' official store will have Kylian Mbappe's kit for sale from June 5 when the official kits for the upcoming 2024-25 season are released.
