According to Mundo Deportivo, striker Kylian Mbappe will receive the legendary shirt number once he joins Real Madrid in Summer 2024.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to complete his long-awaited move to Real Madrid at the end of the season. He has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his intention not to activate the contract extension clause and will leave on a free transfer in June.

According to Mundo Deportivo, if he arrives at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid will give Mbappe the number 10 shirt of Luka Modric. The Croatian midfielder’s contract with Los Blancos will expire in the summer of 2024, and there is a high possibility of leaving for free.

Mbappe will not take the number 7 shirt associated with the name of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, unless Vinicius Junior leaves or decides he wants to change his shirt number.

The Brazilian now has his number and may not want to give it up. However, because Luka Modric is preparing to leave at the end of the season, number 10 will be free for Kylian Mbappe.

Previously, Mbappe used shirt number 10. He wore it when playing for France in the 2022 World Cup and had a fond memory of scoring a hat-trick in the final.

If Mbappe really wears the number 10 shirt at Real Madrid, he will follow in the footsteps of Luis Figo, Mesut Ozil, Clarence Seedorf, James Rodriguez or Wesley Sneijder. In the French national team, Mbappe often wears this number and is the most important pillar of Les Bleus.

Real are expected to announce Mbappe’s arrival before the striker joins the French squad for Euro 2024. With the formalities of the deal still being worked out, fans are speculating about the former AS Monaco star. How many shirts will you get in Madrid?

At this time, Mbappe is aiming to lift the Ligue 1 and Champions League championships for the first time with PSG in his final months at the French capital team.

To date, Mbappe has made 290 appearances for PSG, contributing 243 goals and 105 assists.
