An insight into the plans of incoming Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappé when it comes to his jersey number in Spain’s capital has on Monday been provided.
The info comes courtesy of Le Parisien, and points towards club and player as having agreed on a short-term solution for the season ahead.
Mbappé, of course, is expected to be at long last unveiled as a Real Madrid player at some point over the coming 24 hours.
As much comes after months of negotiations between the parties, over a free transfer several years in the making.
Linking up with arguably world football’s most star-studded panel of players, though, where exactly will Mbappé fit in when it comes to squad number?
As per the aforementioned Le Parisien, a final decision on as much was recently reached.
The France international will take to the pitch in his debut season in Blancos colours with the number 9 emblazoned across his back.
The plan, next summer, is then that Mbappé will inherit his favoured 10 shirt, upon the departure of veteran midfielder Luka Modrić.
At this point, the 9 could then potentially go to young frontman Endrick.
