Officially: Kylian Mbappe wears the number 10 shirt with Real Madrid
Real Madrid has officially announced that French star Kylian Mbappe will wear the number 10 shirt starting from the new season, succeeding Croatian Luka Modric, who left the team after his participation in the Club World Cup in America.
The decision by the royal club to grant Mbappe the number 10 is a recognition of the levels he demonstrated in his first season with the team, despite leaving without any titles.
Mbappe had worn the number 9 shirt last season, after joining Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
Thus, Mbappe will wear the number 10 shirt for both Real Madrid and the French national team, after giving up the number 7 he carried in Paris, due to Vinicius Junior holding it within the royal team.
