Superstar forward Kylian Mbappé is set to follow in the footsteps of Real Madrid legends like Ferenc Puskas, Clarence Seedorf, and Luis Figo by donning the iconic number 10 jersey.
The LaLiga club announced late on Tuesday that Mbappé, 26, will inherit the prestigious shirt number following the departure of Luka Modric to AC Milan.
Mbappé, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, wore the No. 9 shirt during his debut 2024-25 season.
While he delivered an impressive 44 goals across all competitions, the team ultimately fell short of securing a major trophy.
The switch to the number 10 signifies a new chapter for the French international at the Santiago Bernabéu, placing him among an elite group of players who have worn the revered jersey for the club.
This list includes celebrated names such as Gheorghe Hagi, Michael Laudrup, Robinho, and Mesut Özil.
