They deserve this number and I like what Madrid are doing now by changing the jersey numbers immediately.
If I'm not mistaken from the previous season Vini was also offered this jersey number but did refuse because in addition to feeling still not too appropriate, the jersey number 7 is also still worn by Hazard now no one wears this number and of course it must be given to him.
But on the other hand with new numbers for Vini and Rodrygo of course they must realize that with legendary numbers like this especially for Madrid then they have a greater responsibility now.
The season is still long enough to start, hopefully they can make a much better contribution than this season.
Vini at the left flank and rodrygo at the right flank ... both developed very well in the last two seasons and will prove it next season that they could bring back real madrid glorious days , but who's in front? As benzema leaving and so far there are no top players linked to them , there is lautaro martinez and harry kane but that's just a rumor that come from not reliable sources.
They have to bring someone very soon or they might ended up with a panic transfer to land an ordinary striker out of nowhere, seriously.
Now we just have to wait and see what Madrid will do because I'm sure they're still looking now even though Kane or Lautaro have been rumored but that doesn't mean it's just centered around Benzema I guess.
Brahim Diaz is now available as an option but I still feel that this won't be enough so looking for someone with better instincts in terms of goal scoring would of course be great for now.
But looking at this season's moves it seems like they're still looking to do some controlling with the youngsters because the two obvious players at the moment (Brahim Diaz and Fran Garcia) they're still looking for young blood for each of the lines they want to strengthen.
Just like many other players, Benzem chose money and he joined Arabian teams when left he is getting old to earn more money there.
I think Benzema made a wise move and Real Madrid should now hire an alternative player for this position. Mbappe is the first priority and I guess Mbappe can fill Benzema's position at Real Madrid perfectly.
If Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid takes place, a football player who will play successfully for many years as Real Madrid Benzema will be brought to the team. I believe Mbappe will outperform Benzema. What he's done for PSG is obvious and he's a perfect player statistically.
Despite all the speculation now somehow I'm not too sure if Mbappe is going to Madrid next season.
The conditions are still the same as before and although some time ago there were words that indicated Mbappe wanted to go to Madrid (again) but I still feel that Madrid will wait until his contract at PSG ends given that it is also getting closer and it is likely that this season is not but next season it might still happen.
