Mbappé Will Give His Favorite Number to Endrick: Florentino Has Given the OK

Kylian Mbappé and Endrick are set to embark on a ‘battle’ for jersey numbers as they join forces to reinforce and define an era for Real Madrid’s attack. The French and Brazilian stars will need to divide between them the coveted range of jersey numbers available.

Endrick and Mbappé, the two marquee signings for Real Madrid’s future forward line, will join forces with the likes of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, Bellingham, and Brahim to form a squad that’s the envy of the footballing world with its scandalously good lineup and enviable offense.

Upon their arrival at Real Madrid, both will have to choose their jersey numbers. One of the ‘problems’ the white club faces is finding them attractive numbers that can also benefit the marketing department. Florentino seems to have found a solution and has already squared it away with both players.

The president of Real Madrid has agreed to ‘free up’ the number 10 jersey, creating an interesting dilemma for the future of the club. This move will allow Endrick to take the ‘9’, while Mbappé will wear the iconic number that Luka Modric currently dons and will leave upon his departure.

Marketing Appeal At the Bernabéu, they do not expect Modric to renew his contract. They’ve left the offer on the table, but the amount of playing time Ancelotti is giving him seems insufficient for confirming a contract extension into the summer of 2024. Therefore, the jersey number is expected to become available soon.

Real Madrid hopes to present both players with their final jersey numbers on the day of their unveiling, similar to what happened with Jude Bellingham upon his arrival in the Spanish capital. The unveiling of these two could become one of the biggest sales attractions, ‘forcing’ Madridismo to purchase their kits from day one.
