There's always a lot of responsibilities attached to players wearing a particular jersey number for a team. Real Madrid has its own iconic numbers which can't be worn by just any player because of how excellently players back that wore it performed. Bellingham chose the number 5 jersey because that was the jersey the Legendary Zidane wore in Real Madrid. Last I remember was Ozil putting on that number and when he left, Modric assumed mantle ship of which he played his heart out with it excellently just like Ozil did.
Remember when Ronaldo left in 2018 and because Perez and Ronaldo fell apart, he hurriedly gave the number 7 to Mariano Diaz, lol, who made a mockery of that jersey number, he was forced to leave the club afterwards and the jersey was kept. Vini back then was putting on the number 20, it was later when he was ready that Real Madrid handed it over to him and he has proved himself on it. Mbappe just got himself some higher level of responsibility now. Yamal took the number of Barcelona, he gat to brace up now because that's a lot of responsibility.

wearing a shirt has a meaning, wearing a specific number has a sense and a meaning so it must be done with respect and humility
If i were a footballer, i would be honoured and would have tears in my eyes if i were offered an important shirt.
it would be too great an honor

Yeh wearing jersey has a meaning, every number have different quality and importance in every team. Real Madrid have most decorated numbers are 7 and also 10th. 7th number has been wore by many top players, such as Raul, Eden Hazard, Juan Esnaider, Luis Enrique, Emilio Butragueno, Ronaldo etc and 10 number has been wore by Ozil, Modric, Luis Figo, James Rodriguez, etc. Both numbers have a lot of orientation with great player. Due to this, many fans have devotion and love for both these numbers. In the current squad, number 7 was given to Vinicus after Hazard retirement and now kylian Mbappe has been awarded number 10 which is definitely an honorable digit for the fan. Kylian Mbappe really takes the responsibility of number 10. Or number 7 Vinicus Junior steps forward for the leadership of the team.
