If KYLIAN MBAPPE joins Real Madrid, he will wear the renowned No. 10 jersey.
Mbappe, 25, has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he will not exercise his option to extend his contract for another year and will so leave in June as a free agent.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe will wear Real Madrid’s No. 10 shirt.
Vinicius Jr. presently wears Mbappe’s trademark No7 shirt at Real Madrid.
Mbappe will wear Luka Modric’s shirt number at Real Madrid.
Europe’s elite have taken notice, with Premier League giants like Arsenal and Liverpool keeping an eye on the issue, but the star striker is apparently “leaning towards” Real Madrid.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Los Blancos are attempting to sweeten the deal by offering him the shirt number worn by previous legends such as Ferenc Puskas, Luis Figo, and Clarence Seedorf.
This means that the France international will have to give up his famous No7 shirt, which he presently wears for PSG.
That is because Vinicius Jr has demonstrated that he can wear it with the same dignity as illustrious predecessors like as Raul, Emilio Butragueno, and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Luka Modric presently wears the No. 10 shirt but is set to end his glittering 12-year career in Madrid when his contract expires in the summer.
According to the same rumour, Real plans to officially announce Mbappe’s arrival before he joins France for Euro 2024.
However, various formalities must be completed before the former Monaco player puts pen to paper.
The Frenchman’s exorbitant salaries are a huge impediment.
However, sources indicate that Mbappe is willing to take a significant wage cut in order to eventually join Real Madrid.
The La Liga giants are hoping to pay the forward less than his starting salary of £42.8 million, or about £827,000 each week.
