Expected to sign up with Real Madrid at the end of the season, Kylian Mbappé should ultimately not wear number 10 as expected.
There is no longer any question of whether Kylian Mbappé will sign for Real Madrid but when his arrival at the Merengue next summer will be made official. A month after announcing to Parisian leaders his decision to leave PSG, the French world champion is in fact still determined to join the Madrid giant after his seven years spent with the Rouge et Bleu.
According to certain Spanish media, Kylian Mbappé has already signed his new contract with Real Madrid, committing for five years with an annual salary estimated at 15 million euros and a signing bonus. of some 50 million euros. However, the announcement of his signing with the Merengue should not come for several weeks.
The number 9 left vacant by Karim Benzema
For journalist Joaquin Maroto, Real Madrid specialist, the officialization of the arrival should only fall before the start of preparation for the Euro. The former Monegasque would indeed like to be able to concentrate on the French team or rather the French teams since after the Euro, he would like to continue with the Paris Olympic Games with the Bleuets.
All the details of the arrival of Kylian Mbappé seem in any case settled. The top scorer in Ligue 1 could already have chosen the number he will wear at Real Madrid. And after wearing No. 7 (after 29) with PSG and No. 10 with the Blues, Kylian Mbappé should inherit a new number. While we imagined him recovering the number 10 of Luka Modric, who would indeed be preparing to leave the Merengue, it is ultimately the number 9 left vacant since the departure of Karim Benzema that the Frenchman should wear.
