Madrid: The famous number nine shirt remains on French star Kylian Mbappa if he joins Spanish club Real Madrid. With this, it is reported that the young star will change his usual position and take on another challenge.

It is almost certain that Mbappe will play for Real Madrid next season. The contract with French club PSG expires at the end of this season. There were earlier reports that Royal had reached an agreement with the star. Now the new information is related to the shirt and the situation.

Real have decided to give Mbappe the number nine shirt worn by Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. This number has not been given to anyone since Benzema left the club. The number 9 shirt is usually worn by a player who plays as a central forward in Real Madrid. It is suggested that Mbapa will be tested in this position. Left wing is the star’s favorite position. However, Vinicius plays in this position at Real Madrid. Vinicius is in top form and hard to replace. This was a headache for coach Carlo Angelotti. However, it is also rumored that the number and position of the shirt was decided by communication with the star.
