Kylian Mbappé will not wear the number 10 at Real Madrid next season: the current owner of the number, Luka Modric, will ultimately stay.
What number will Kylian Mbappé wear in Madrid? It was thought that the number 10 was reserved for him. Because the number 7 is taken and well kept by Vinicius, and rumors suggested that the number 9 would land on Endrick’s back.
But no, there will be no number 10 for Kylian Mbappé. With his contract expiring on June 30, 38-year-old Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric will ultimately extend his adventure with the Merengues for another season. Announced close to a departure a few months ago, the Croatian is staying, announced club president Florentino Pérez after Real Madrid’s victory over Borussia Dortmund (2-0) in the Champions League final this Saturday.
Kylian Mbappé is thus left with limited choices. And so, it’s ultimately the number 9 that he should take on next season. Unless there’s a huge surprise and Luka Modric hands over the number 10 to Mbappé. Hard to imagine nonetheless…
