Mbappe moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid last summer. And the France international, wearing the number 9 shirt, spent his first season with the Los Blancos, scoring 44 goals in 59 appearances in all competitions. Including 31 in 34 La Liga appearances, winning the Spanish league’s top scorer award.

Real Madrid had originally planned to give Mbappe the No. 10 shirt last summer. But had to adjust their plans after Modric extended his contract by another year. With the France international also happy to wear the No. 9 shirt.

Despite competing for the No. 10 shirt with Arda Guler and new signing Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid ultimately decided to give the number to the France international, while the No. 9 shirt could go to Gonzalo Garcia Torres or Endrick Felipe. 

Despite earlier stating he had no demands regarding shirt numbers and emphasizing his respect for Modric, Mbappé is now poised to wear the number 10—a gesture from the club that signals their trust in him as the face of the team’s future.
