French forward Kylian Mbappé has officially completed his transfer to Real Madrid, signing a five-year contract with the Spanish club. Mbappé joins Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he spent six successful years, establishing himself as a prolific goal-scorer.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that Mbappé is expected to wear the number 9 shirt at Real Madrid, with no request made for the number 10 jersey for the upcoming season.
According to sports writer Fabrizio Romano, both Mbappé and Real Madrid have shown respect for veteran player Luka Modrić, who will be staying with the team and extending his contract for the next season.
Mbappé's move to Real Madrid marks a significant milestone in his career, as he seeks to replicate his success at the Spanish club. During his time at PSG, Mbappé made 308 appearances across all competitions, scoring 256 goals and providing 96 assists. His impressive achievements include six Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de France trophies, three Trophee des Champions titles, two Coupe de la Ligue titles, and a UEFA Champions League runner-up finish.
It has been learned that Mbappé may choose to wait for the coveted number 10 jersey, much like Cristiano Ronaldo did in the past when he waited for the number 7 shirt, previously worn by legendary player Raúl.
Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid bolsters the club's attacking lineup, joining forces with talented players like Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham.
