Who Will Succeed Modric and Wear the Number 10 at Real Madrid? The Battle Rages Between Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham
The 9 vs the 5. Two iconic numbers at Real Madrid, worn by legends like Ronaldo (the Brazilian), Benzema, and Zidane… but Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham want even more.
With Luka Modric set to leave Real Madrid in a few days, his legendary number 10 will become both a reward and a responsibility. Many contenders are eager to wear it, according to AS.
Mbappé, The Favorite
The first name that comes to mind is Kylian Mbappé. Currently wearing the 9, he could take the 10, as he does with France, or even the 7. If he agrees to switch numbers, Mbappé would be the natural choice to succeed Modric.
Bellingham, Another Option
If Mbappé prefers to keep the 9, Jude Bellingham could take over the number. The young Englishman already wears the 5, a legendary number since Zidane, and may continue with it unless a strategic change occurs. The number 10 is ready to be claimed, and the one who wears it next must live up to the legacy of its iconic predecessor. While Mbappé settled for the 9, the 10 remains his ultimate goal for the former PSG star.
