Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid future ‘SHIRT NUMBER’ revealed as agency and Madrid owner approves

First and foremost, Kylian Mbappe won’t get his own way. Since his first option is already gone, he has decided to wait—at least for the time being. 👀

According to speculations, Kylian Mbappe will wear the number nine shirt during his first season with Real Madrid before moving to his favorite option in 2025.

When Real Madrid announced on Monday night that Kylian Mbappe had signed a five-year contract, it finally put an end to the worst kept secret in football.

The 25-year-old striker revealed his thoughts on his impending transfer in an emotional speech. He has never held back when expressing his passion for Los Blancos.

He called it “a dream come true.” “I’m thrilled and honored to have joined Real Madrid, the team of my dreams. No one can truly comprehend my current level of excitement. Madridistas, I can’t wait to meet you. I appreciate all of your amazing support. Madrid, hala.”

According to the French newspaper Le Parisien, Mbappe’s shirt number has also been verified, with the deal confirmed on all fronts.

According to the source, Mbappe will don the number nine jersey when the newly crowned European champions take the field for the first time. Karim Benzema’s departure occurred in the summer of 2023.

The number ten shirt will then pass to Mbappe—it’s reported that this is his favored option—when a certain Luka Modric decides to depart.

After yet another successful season leading Los Blancos’ midfield, Modric has revealed his desire to retire there. He has signed a fresh one-year contract with the Spanish team.

“I’ve always stated that my dream retirement would be with Real Madrid,” he declared.

“I aim to fulfill my ideal of retiring at my house, the club of my dreams. Without a doubt, I have the football and physicality to stay among the elite.

Age has come up a lot, and I find it bothersome. The best players in the world play for Real Madrid. I feel strong right now, but that might change in six months, and I’ll be the first to confess it if I find I’m not able to continue.”

Mbappe will follow in the footsteps of Luis Figo, Ferenc Puskas, and Clarence Seedorf if he decides to wear the iconic number ten on the back of his shirt in 2025.

After arriving to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, the Frenchman initially wore the No. 29 shirt. However, he ultimately moved up to the number seven shirt, which he has been wearing ever since.
