Real Madrid announced through its official website the shirt numbers of its players for next season, and all attention was directed to the name of Kylian Mbappe, the latest to join the royal club this summer.
Throughout his career, Mbappe wore the number 7 or 10, but it was difficult for him to get one of them because they belonged to the great duo Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric.
Ultimately, Mbappe will receive the number 9 shirt, which no Real player has worn since Karim Benzema left last year to Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
At the same time, the Real Madrid roster witnessed many changes in the players’ shirt numbers, as Fede Valverde took the number 8 shirt after Toni Kroos’s retirement.
As for Eduardo Camavinga, he switched to the number 6 shirt left by captain Nacho Fernandez, who recently moved to Al-Qadisiyah, Saudi Arabia.
Aurelien Tchouamini moved from No. 18 to No. 14 after Joselu’s departure, while Arda Guler will wear the No. 15 shirt after playing with No. 24 last season.
