Kylian Mbappe offered iconic No.10 shirt at Real Madrid after Luka Modric's exit with French striker set to follow in footsteps of Luis Figo & Mesut Ozil

FIFA Club World Cup

Real Madrid

Al Hilal

<p>The World Cup winner inherited No.9 at Santiago Bernabeu when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-not-much-difference-kylian-mbappe-cristiano-ronaldo-former-team-mate-explaining-similarities-real-madrid-galacticos-past-present/blt87f212753af10592" target="_blank">becoming another ‘Galactico’ in the Spanish capital</a> during the summer of 2024. He took that jersey from fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema - who had departed Madrid a year earlier.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/european-golden-shoe-2024-25/blt3520b9a1255f6e3b" target="_blank">asked to lead the line for the Blancos</a>, as he was shifted inside from his favoured position on the left flank. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/european-golden-shoe-2024-25/blt3520b9a1255f6e3b" target="_blank">Vinicius Junior fills that role for Real</a>, while also donning their No.7 shirt - the number that Mbappe wore with distinction at Paris Saint-Germain.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mbappe’s debut campaign in Spain saw him register 43 goals across all competitions, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/european-golden-shoe-2024-25/blt3520b9a1255f6e3b" target="_blank">helping him to the Liga Golden Boot and European Golden Shoe</a>. He missed out on major honours while picking up UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup crowns.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It is now being claimed that he could have a new look for 2025-26. According to <a href="https://x.com/elchiringuitotv/status/1927159988398575751 " target="_blank"><em>El Chiringuito</em></a>, Mbappe has been given the chance to take Real’s No.10 shirt following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-heartfelt-honour-message-luka-modric-croatian-confirms-decision-leave-real-madrid/blt0fe77cd188072114" target="_blank">departure of Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric</a>.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Modric has filled that jersey since 2017, while it has previously been worn by the likes of World Cup winner Ozil, Portuguese superstar Figo, Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf and Danish legend Michael Laudrup.
