French star Kylian Mbappe will wear the number 10 shirt at Real Madrid starting next season, replacing the number 9 he wore in his debut season with the club.
This change came with Luka Modric's departure to AC Milan, ending his 13-year tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The number 10 is an iconic number that has been worn by Modric for years at Madrid. Now, it will be worn by Mbappé, who has long worn the number 10 with the French national team.
Citing an ESPN report on Wednesday, Madrid's internal officials have confirmed that Mbappe had originally planned to wear the number 10 shirt once it became available.
