I know that the number 10 jersey is mostly worn by a prestigious player in a team but i don't get the idea of giving someone who already has a jersey number previously. I also learnt that Barcelona also gave Lamine Yamal the number 10 jersey, it's fine anyways but it's really unnecessary, after all world class players like Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest didn't wear the number 10 jersey but they were outstanding in their performance. Whichever way, i feel that Real Madrid wants to honor him with that number since Luka Modric who have been wearing the number 10 jersey for years won't be playing in the team anymore. I don't think there is any responsibility attached to wearing the number 10 shirt so he should just keep up with the energy, that's all.
Right now we can see that Kylian Mbappe is going to wear an iconic jersey because it is true that this player is going to follow in the footsteps of Mesut Ozil Luka Modric and Puskas, indeed it must be accepted that these players also wore the iconic jersey for the Spanish team. Perhaps everyone has observed that Luka Modric has moved from this club to another club, so it is very natural that the Frenchman will occupy the number 10 jersey of Real Madrid Football Club at the present time.
So we can say that his level of pressure and responsibility will probably increase several times from here because at this stage, he could become a great player for Real Madrid, and it is safe to say that he could take everything on this opportunity.
Real Madrid will reportedly hand the No. 10 shirt to Kylian Mbappé ahead of the 2025–26 season. When Mbappé made the move to the Spanish capital last summer, the 26-year-old had to settle for the number nine
