What number would Mbappe wear at Real Madrid?

What number will Kylian Mbappe wear after his free transfer to Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos finally confirmed the arrival of Kylian Mbappe to the team for free transfer.

France's Captain preferred the number 7 shirt which is currently held by the iconic Brazilian Vinicious JR, so it seems  no option for Mbappe for that number, although it was his idiol's number.

Kyilian Mbappe could follow Cristiano Ronaldo's steps during his first season move to Real Madrid, C.Ronaldo wore number 7 at his 6 seasons at old trafford before moving to Real Madrid. At his arrival Cristiano Ronaldo's preferred number was also occupied at that time by the Iconic Spaniard Raul Gonzalez.

Kyilian Mbappe first wore shirt Number 29 back at Monaco in 2016 before a mind blowing move to Paris saint german which was worth of 180 Million euros ($196 million). and then begun to wear the same shirt number in Paris  Saint German for  his first season until the end of 2018 world cup where he showed Paris Saint German and the world what he is capable of, and he was given the number 7 shirt from there on.

The question here is what number will he be wearing after moving to Madrid this next coming days, will he be given to that number 7 which seems impossible due to the player holding now (Vinicious Jr) who is now a key player for Los Blancos at this very moment. So Mbappe's hope for number 7 dies there.

Kylian Mbappe's second preferred number is shirt number 10 which he wears it in France International Team, 

It is said that there are two reasons behind why Kylian Mbappe wear number 10 for France international team. first is that:- At the time he was called for the international team, his preferred number was held by Antonio Greizmann and Greizmann was a great  player for France at that time and his was among the best for the International team. so Mbappe had to take another jersey number, which lead him to wear number 10 at that time.

The second reason said out there why Kylian Mbappe wears shirt Number  10 for France International team is that he loved the France Hero Zinadine Zidane who wore the number 10 for france during his time with the International team.

So could Mbappe also wear the number 10 for Real Madrid upon his arrival? this is another question circulating in the media for the past 24  hours.

The number 10 shirt is also occupied by the legend Luka Modric who is willing to renew his conntract at the end of this coming months for further season, so  it is also impossible for the Croatian Captain to give up his number and take on another.

So Kylian Mbappe seems here to miss all his preferred shirt  numbers, but the best option remaining is his France mate  number who departure Santiago last summer Karim Benzema.

Karim Benzema's number 9 has been vacant since he left the team last season for Al Ittihad moving to Saudi Arabia, So Kylian has got a good number to take here just before taking back one of his favourite jersey numbers after one season when the 38 years Croatian Captain  retires or leaves the club next season.

If kylian Mbappe takes a number which is not his choice before getting his preferred number, he would not be the first player to do so. One of other player who did so is the  Great Cristiano Ronaldo who did  so during his arrival at 2009 taking another number rather than a number he preferred at the beginning since his preferred number was occupied at that time by the great Raul Gonzalez.

So kylian Mbappe is set to wear shirt number 9 for his first season at  Santiago Bernabeu.
