The Spanish press is ablaze over the future number assigned to Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid.
Barring an unlikely turnaround, Kylian Mbappé should join Real Madrid to open a new chapter in his career. The French international announced to his president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi his desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract next June.
After 7 years of good and loyal service at PSG, the captain of the France team will finally join the club that made him dream of growing up. And according to certain Spanish media, everything will already be tied up with the White House. Including the star’s future number.
Between the 9th and the 10th, Mbappé decided!
The choice of a number is not trivial for a player of this size. This is even a point of the utmost importance for star attackers. Within Real Madrid, the legendary numbers of offensive players are not all available. Fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinédine Zidane during his youth, Kylian Mbappé will not be able to recover the 7 or the 5 worn by these two legends. They are currently the properties of Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham, the 2 galactics of Real.
So there would remain number 9 or number 10. And as shown this Saturday, it is indeed the 10 that Mbappé should choose – a number that the Bondy prodigy already wears in the France team. Florentino Perez would be totally in phase with this choice according to the daily Sport. Above all, this agreement with the player would be added to a distribution of image rights which would suit the Madrid president. To be continued…
