Magic Dior leaves Real Madrid s No. 10 jersey leaves suspense: 2 big successors emerge Mbappe s hot

This summer, Real Madrid and Barcelona, both of the two giants, had a "No. 10 change of ownership". Ansu Fati left Barcelona, Yamal put on No. 10; Modric left Real Madrid, and there was a vacancy on No. 10. Who will be Real Madrid's new No. 10? Marca analyzes that Mbappe and Guerre are competitors.

In Real Madrid, No. 7 has the highest historical status and No. 10 is also a superstar. In recent years, Seeddorf, Figo, Robinho, Sneider, Las Diarra, J Ronaldo and Modric have worn the No. 10 jersey. In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Paris Saint-Germain, Modric officially bid farewell to Real Madrid, and the suspense of the new owner of the No. 10 immediately appeared.

Who will take over No. 10? "Marca" gives two names: Mbappe and Guerre.

Mbappe is Real Madrid's flagship superstar, with status and ability to wear No. 10. In the French national team, in Monaco, in 2017-18, and in Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe was all super giants wearing No. 10 jerseys. When he arrived at Real Madrid, Mbappe put on No. 9.

As a top striker, Mbappe rarely wears No. 9, only when he was in the Monaco youth team. In 2023, Benzema bid farewell to Real Madrid and the No. 9 jersey was vacant for one year. Mbappe joined in the summer of 2024, scoring 44 goals in Real Madrid's first year, winning the European Golden Boot Award and La Liga Golden Boot Award. Now, Mbappe has not requested a No. 10 jersey. If Real Madrid club decides to give No. 10 to Mbappe, the latter will of course not refuse.

Guerre also hopes to take over the No. 10 jersey. Under the leadership of the new coach Xavi Alonso, Guerre was reused and played as the main player.

Maca pointed out that there is a detail that proves that Guerre may be the new No. 10: After Real Madrid was eliminated in the Club World Cup, the whole team will return to Madrid. Modric called Guerre to his side and presented him with the No. 10 jersey, which was regarded as a "translation".

Of course, there is another situation: vacancy No. 10. In the 2013-14 season, no one in Real Madrid wore the No. 10 jersey. In the 2014 World Cup, J. Ronaldo was born, Real Madrid spent 80 million euros to introduce Colombia's midfielder, and there was a new master on the 10th.

However, the possibility of vacancy No. 10 is very small. "Marca" said that Real Madrid's first team only has three numbers: No. 10, No. 17 and No. 25. Mastantono, Gonzalo Garcia, and Raul Asensio need to register to join the first team, and it is unlikely that the three players will choose No. 10. Real Madrid still needs to carefully consider which one will take over No. 10, which is related to commercial value and other interests.
