JAKARTA - Kylian Mbappe will not get the iconic number 7 shirt at Real Madrid. In addition, Madrid will sacrifice forwards with the arrival of Mbappe.

Mbappe has not officially left Paris Saint-Germain. The captain of the French national team has not yet joined Madrid.

In fact, in the latest news, Arsenal is said to be competing for Mbappe. Arsenal's closeness to French players made this North London club a Mbappe destination.

However, Madrid remains at the forefront of recruiting the 25-year-old. Both sides agreed. Madrid itself immediately completed the details of Mbappe's move to join after Euro 2024.

According to information, the contract value and Mbappe's five-year salary have been agreed upon by both parties.

The problem is, what number of back belongs to Mbappe? At PSG, Mbappe wears the number 7. The number is legendary since Raul Gonzalez's use and then Cristiano Ronaldo in Madrid.

However, Los Blancos will not specialize Mbappe in the back number. The reason is, number 7 still belongs to Vinicius Junior.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Mbappe got the number 10, the same as what he was wearing in the French national team.

For now, the number belongs to veteran midfielder Luka Modric. With Modric's departure at the end of this season, Mbappe will inherit the number.

Di Madrid, nomor tersebut selalu dimiliki para legendel, di antaranya Luis Figo, Juli Seedorf, dan sudah pasti salah satu ikon berserah, Ferenc Puskas.

Mbappe's presence also made Madrid's front line even more tight. Moreover, if the Spanish La Liga giants come, there will be striker Erling Haaland.

Currently, Madrid already have Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Joselu Mato, and Arda Guler. Among them, Joselu is the only player with loan status.

If Joselu returns to Espanyol, Los Merengues' front line remains full. Madrid will also release one of them.

Rodrygo seems to be a victim. Moreover, the performance of this Brazilian player has decreased.

Mbappe could easily take over Rodrygo's position which did not steal the attention. The scheme is worse, the 23-year-old player will be added to the list of sale in the player transfer window this summer.

Madrid president Florentino Perez thinks his team is mostly front players. Rodrygo is also an option that Los Blancos will release.
