Kylian Mbappé, former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Monaco striker expected to wear shirt number nine (9) at Real Madrid in the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Renowned Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his X account.
“Kylian Mbappé, expected to wear 9️⃣ as shirt number at Real Madrid.”
“Sources guarantee Kylian or his camp didn’t even ask Real Madrid to get number 🔟 for upcoming season.”
“Mbappé and Real Madrid respect Luka Modrić who’s staying and extending his contract for next season.”
“Kylian could wait for number 10 as Cristiano Ronaldo did years ago for number 7 with another legend, Raúl.”
The Frenchman has signed a five year contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his Paris St-Germain deal expires on 30 June.
Madrid are expected to announce the deal next week and could formally present the forward at the Bernabeu before Euro 2024.
