Rumours about his future never went away throughout his time at the Parc des Princes, but they intensified in 2021 when he approached the final months of his contract.

According to Sky Sports, Los Blancos tempted the Parisians with a £137 million offer in August 2021, which was outright rejected and labelled disrespectful.

Real Madrid decides Mbappe’s number

One of the questions hanging over Mbappe's move to La Liga was the shirt number he would wear and how his role may disrupt the team in the Spanish capital.

His preferred role is the left wing, which is currently occupied by Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo de Goes. He wears the number 10 jersey with the French national team and 7 in Paris.

According to Le Parisien, the 14-time European champions have decided that the 25-year-old will wear the number 10 jersey currently occupied by the legendary Luka Modric.
