Real Madrid has reportedly insisted that Kylian Mbappé wear the iconic No. 10 shirt at the club, according to French outlet L’Équipe.

The number became vacant following the departure of Luka Modrić, who left the Spanish giants this summer to join AC Milan on a free transfer.

However, it is understood that Mbappé preferred to retain the No. 9 shirt he wore during his debut season at the Santiago Bernabéu after his high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain.
