What number will be associated with Kylian Mbappé next season?
While he will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season where he currently wears number 7, the striker may have to give it up, particularly if he plays for Real Madrid.
This is a subject which animates the Spanish press this Monday which, convinced of seeing the native of Bondy arrive in the capital, wonders what his choice could well be.
Thus, the daily “AS” is already discussing the “dilemma” of Kylian Mbappé who will not a priori be able to count on his favorite number 7, attributed to Vinicius.
As for the number 10, which he wears in the France team, it is the property of Luka Modric.
It remains to be seen whether the Croatian will still be present next season.
“AS” then wonders about the possibility of using the number 9, “which is not one of the Frenchman’s favorite numbers” according to the media.
He would thus succeed… Karim Benzema, whose number has not been used since his departure to Saudi Arabia.

He also wore the number 29
Earlier in his career, the captain of the Blues played with other numbers including 29, the day his little brother Ethan was born.
This was particularly the case when he was a player for AS Monaco but also during his debut in Paris, when Lucas Moura wore the number 7. He also wore the number 12, for his first steps with the France team.
For now, if Kylian Mbappé has informed PSG that he wishes to leave at the end of the season, no destination has been officially announced.
According to our information, it is towards the club with 14 Champions League trophies that he is heading.
A choice that is beyond doubt for his Blues teammate Ibrahima Konaté.
Asked this weekend to know if he was trying to attract Mbappé to Liverpool, the defender hilariously said: “I think we all know where he’s going to go…”.
