Km9 is no longer. As soon as the liga resumption, it is the number 10 that Kylian Mbappé will wear on the back of his jersey. At least that's what we indicate a good number of media in recent days. The Frenchman will thus recover the prestigious number which had been owned by Luka Modric since 2017, and which belonged before to James Rodriguez. A number always heavy with meaning and clearly symbolic in the history of this sport …
Inevitably, for Real Madrid, it is an interesting new marketing blow since the number 10 is always very bankable. He even says that Mbappé has not asked for anything, and that it is the Madrid management who wishes to change his number. The Merengues do the same blow as FC Barcelona did with Lamine Yamal, who also seized the number 10, and the jerseys of the two players will sell like hotcakes, generating a lot of income for the two clubs. Only, if the number 10 of the little Barcelona prodigy was rather well received by local public opinion, this is not necessarily the case for Le Bondynois.
Another ideal candidate
Of course, this is not a question of level or merit. But there is first an obvious argument which is advanced by some: Kylian Mbappé is not a 10. Lamine Yamal neither will say some, but his profile and his qualities with the ball look more like those of a 10 than those of French. Anyway, many would have liked the number 10 to return to Arda Güler. Especially since as indicated Marcathe Turkish nugget wishes to recover this issue, which is not especially the case of French as explained above.
Besides, the media does not fail to recall that in the last match of Luka Modric, the Croatian offered his jersey to Güler. As if he had simply passed him the relay. The Merengues are therefore clearly divided on this subject. The name of Franco Mastanuono, who could also stick in terms of profile, is also advanced by other media, but with his youth and his lack of experience in Madrid, such a number could be counterproductive. Business to follow …
