This time, it's official. As expected for several days, Kylian Mbappé will now wear number 10 with Real Madrid. The Merengue club confirmed it on social networks.
“Our new number 10”, He said on X in a message accompanied by a photo of the old Parisian with his new flocking.
The interested party had himself fanned this change last week. “10”, he had simply written on his X account, therefore confirming his decision to abandon the number 9 he has been working since his arrival at Real Madrid last summer and to recover the number 10 left vacant by Luka Modric, who had been wearing it since 2017.
This announcement caused strong reactions. As a result of the will of certain supporters to see Arda Güler, a real playmaker, wear this number 10. And this all the more since the former Fenerbahçce player had clearly expressed his wish to recover it.
The sale of jerseys begins this Wednesday
Luka Modric had also dubbed him at the end of his last match with Real Madrid by giving him his flocked jersey of the 10th. A gift seen as a passage of power.
The announcement occurred on the eve of the sale of new Madrid tunics. An event considered in Madrid as a “first major marketing test” for the former Parisian, whose jersey sales will be closely followed.
