Kylian Mbappé Sets the Record Straight on Number 10 Jersey
Kylian Mbappé, who recently signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, has clarified rumors surrounding his preference for the number 10 jersey. In a recent statement, the French forward debunked claims that he requested the iconic number, currently worn by Luka Modrić.
"I never said I wanted this number... it's Luka Modrić's number," Mbappé confirmed, setting the record straight. He expressed his admiration for the Croatian midfielder, stating, "I'm honored to play with Modrić. He's a champion, a Ballon d'Or winner, and I respect him so much."
Mbappé's words demonstrate his respect for Modrić's achievements and his desire to coexist harmoniously with his new teammate. By relinquishing any claim to the number 10 jersey, Mbappé showcases his team-oriented approach and willingness to prioritize the team's dynamics over personal preferences.
Prior to joining Real Madrid, Mbappé had an illustrious career with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he played 217 games and scored 155 goals. His impressive performance at PSG earned him a reputation as one of the most prolific goal-scorers in the world.
