Real Madrid plans to give Kylian Mbappe the famous number 10 jersey. The French striker would receive the shirt after Luka Modric leaves the team. Modric will depart from Real Madrid following the FIFA Club World Cup tournament. The Croatian midfielder has worn the number for several seasons. His exit opens up the iconic jersey number for a new player.
Spanish newspaper AS reports that Real Madrid views this move as smart business. The club believes that Mbappe wearing number 10 would create a strong marketing appeal. Fans around the world would want to buy jerseys with his name and number on them. The combination could generate millions in merchandise sales. Real Madrid stands to reap significant financial benefits from this jersey change.
The number switch could affect other players on the roster. Endrick might receive the number 9 shirt if Mbappe accepts the 10. The young Brazilian forward currently wears a different number. Real Madrid wants to give him a more prominent jersey number. This change would show the club's faith in the teenage striker.
