Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappé wants to change his number

While Lamine Yamal has taken the number 10 at FC Barcelona, Kylian Mbappé is aiming to do the same at Real Madrid.

According to reports from Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is expected to change his shirt number in the coming days. Having worn the number 9 since signing a year ago, the French forward is set to seize the opportunity presented by Luka Modric's departure to claim the number 10 jersey.

The news surfaced a few weeks ago and is gradually being confirmed. According to Radio Marca, Mbappé was hopeful that the management would grant him this opportunity, as he already wears the number for the national team. Real Madrid is expected to make an official announcement on this in the coming days.
