What Number Will Mbappe Wear at Real Madrid?: After a lot of speculation that ended for years, Kylian Mbappe’s dream move to Real Madrid is unofficially done. The star will be unveiled at the legendary Santiago Bernabeu this summer. One mammoth question remaining is about the jersey number that the French superstar wears.
What Number Will Mbappe Wear at Real Madrid?
Mbappe currently wears the Number 7 jersey at PSG. There is a reason for that. The 25-year-old is a huge admirer of the GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo. And the number 7 is made legendary by the one and only CR7. Will he wear the No. 7 at Real Madrid? There is a slight problem in saying yes.
Real Madrid’s No. 7 is worn by Brazilian young star Vinicius Jr. Like Mbappe, Vini is also a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan. So it’s highly unlikely that Real Madrid would strip him of his favorite number to welcome Mbappe.
According to the latest report by AS, the French star will be wearing the number 9, which Karim Benzema had worn during his time at Real Madrid. The number was also worn by Cristiano Ronaldo just after his arrival in Madrid before shifting to No. 7. There is also a chance that Mbappe might choose the No. 10 jersey that he already wears with the French international team. The No. 10 is worn by Luka Modric currently, but the Croatian will most likely leave in the summer as a free agent.
