One year after joining Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is set for a symbolic change. Currently wearing the No. 9, the French superstar will soon don the legendary No. 10, left vacant by Luka Modric’s departure.
According to Radio Marca, Mbappé personally requested the number — the same he wears for France — and the club has agreed. The change is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
A powerful statement
The No. 10 is more than just a number. It represents leadership, creativity, and central importance. Real Madrid handing it to Mbappé signals his growing status in the squad, despite the presence of other stars like Vinicius and Bellingham.
A new era begins
With Modric gone, a chapter closes in Madrid’s history. And Mbappé could be the face of the next one — on the pitch, and now, on his back.
