End of the suspense for Kylian Mbappé. In recent weeks, a certain vagueness surrounded the future jersey issue of the French striker from Real Madrid (26 years old). While he was carrying 9 since his arrival last summer, coming from PSG, everything said that he was going to recover on the 10 left vacant following the departure of Luka Modric, who joined AC Milan.

The former Parisian himself seemed to have sold the wick on his X account (formerly Twitter) by simply posting the number
“10”last Wednesday. A message given almost 45 million times. But until then, the Madrid club had not officially communicated on this subject. What about? The answer fell on Tuesday.

Kylian Mbappé, change confirmed

And this is the number 10, as in the French team, that the 2018 world champion will end up for his second season at the White House. The Merengue management did not split a long press release to announce it, but a simple photo. And the change also appears on its file, on the Real Madrid website.

It is now necessary to hope for Kylian Mbappé that the 10 will bring him more success than the 9, at least collectively. Because if he finished exercise 2024-2025 as top scorer in the liga and European gold shoe, the tricolor international has not raised any major trophy, with only the UEFA supercup and the intercontinental cup.
