's No. 9 jersey has been vacant, and Mbappe will make his official debut in mid-July after the Europa League.
Mbappe's most preferred number is 7, but the current owner of Real Madrid's number 7 is Vinicius. To avoid any locker room conflicts, Mbappe has opted for the No. 9 shirt, which is the number Real Madrid would like him to wear. Mbappe briefly wore the No. 9 during his time at Monaco, and the number is no stranger to him.
As for the No. 10 jersey, with Modric set to renew his contract with Real Madrid, the Croatian will continue to wear the white No. 10. According to sources in Paris, Mbappe will apply to wear No. 10 after Modric leaves the team at the end of his contract.
It was previously reported that the No. 9 jersey was originally reserved for Brazilian striker Ndrick, but given Mbappe's appeal and market value, the French striker is undoubtedly the best owner of Real Madrid's No. 9. Crowe also wore the No. 9 jersey in his first year with the club, and now Mbappe can follow in the footsteps of his idol.
In addition to his usual numbers 7 and 10, and the aforementioned 9, Mbappe has worn a number of other numbers throughout his career. At France U19, he wore numbers 13 and 11, while at the adult national team, he wore numbers 20 and 12. At club level, Mbappe has worn numbers 25, 39, 33 and 29 from Monaco's youth team to the first team, and since joining Paris, he has also worn numbers 14 and 17 in the Coupe de France.
