The famous Madrid club Real is discussing the possibility of giving the number 10 shirt to its new superstar Kylian Mbappé. According to Spain’s reputable Marca outlet, the club’s management plans to elevate the French striker’s image to a higher level through this number.
The number 10 in world football is not just a number — it symbolizes the main player, the star of the team. In Real, this number was previously worn by global football legends like Zidane, Özil, James, and in recent years — Luka Modrić. Now it appears this honorable number is about to pass to Mbappé.
It is known that currently the number 10 belongs to one of the most experienced and respected players on the team — Croatian Luka Modrić. However, he is expected to leave the club after the Club World Cup. This makes the transition of the number to a new owner a natural process.
Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the French national team, is currently playing at Real with the number 9 shirt. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2029, and according to Transfermarkt, he is one of the most expensive players in the world with a valuation of 180 million euros.
The 26-year-old forward showed outstanding stats last season: he played 56 official matches, scored 43 goals, and provided 5 assists. These figures place him among the most effective and impactful players in world football.
Playing under number 10 in the “Los Blancos” squad will further solidify Kylian’s leadership role. Not only are high-level goals expected from him, but also team leadership and decisive actions in the game.
Thus, Real is not only announcing a new transfer but also the beginning of a new era. For Mbappé, the number 10 shirt could be the doorway to the next legendary chapter in football history. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
