Real Madrid Plans to Hand Kylian Mbappé the Iconic No. 10 Shirt Next Season
Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to give Kylian Mbappé the legendary number 10 shirt, a jersey soon to be vacated by Luka Modrić following his expected departure next season, according to AS.
📝 Modrić’s Legacy
The Croatian maestro, who has worn the number 10 shirt since 2012, extended his contract last summer—delaying Madrid’s initial plan to hand the number to Mbappé upon his arrival.
🇫🇷 Mbappé’s Familiar Number
Mbappé currently wears No. 10 for the French national team, and the number carries personal significance as well as massive marketing value. It’s no surprise that Real Madrid sees the move as a golden opportunity to enhance global branding and jersey sales.
📌 Decision Time
As it stands, Mbappé is expected to wear No. 9 for the 2025–26 season, but the final decision on whether to switch to No. 10 will rest with the player. A symbolic move like this could mark the beginning of a new era at Real Madrid — positioning Mbappé as the face of the club’s future.

⚪ What This Means for Real Madrid
This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about legacy, branding, and symbolism. The No. 10 shirt at Real Madrid has been worn by greats like Ferenc Puskás, Luís Figo, and Modrić. Passing it to Mbappé signals full confidence in him to carry that legacy forward.
