Ambbi becomes Real Madrid's No.10 and inherits the legendary jersey
Real Madrid striker Kylian EmbabyKylian Mbappé) recently announced that he will be wearing the number 10 jersey, symbolizing a key player, for the new season. This news was officially confirmed by Real Madrid on Wednesday. Ambábi originally wore number 9, while number 10 had been worn by legendary Croatian midfielder Luka Modrić until his summer transfer to AC Milan, officially giving up the number.
The number 10 jersey has always symbolized the soul of a team. Real Madrid's legendary number 10s in recent years include Modi, Luis Figo, and Clarence Seedorf. Ambélé's appointment as the new number 10 signifies the club's high regard for him. According to Transfermarkt, the 25-year-old has scored over 320 goals for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team. Last season, he contributed 29 goals and 8 assists in Ligue 1, establishing him as one of Europe's top strikers (Source:Transfermarkt).
International and club-wide "No. 10" drives global commercial impact
Ambappé has long worn the number 10 jersey for the French national team and is among the top ten players for both appearances and goals. Real Madrid's decision to have him wear the number 10 jersey not only makes it easier for fans to identify him, but also helps with jersey marketing. According to Forbes, within three days of Mbappé joining Real Madrid, sales of the number 9 jersey exceeded 300,000. Sales are expected to rise again after he switches to the number 10 jersey, generating significant commercial revenue for Real Madrid (Source:Forbes).
Ambábi will debut as Real Madrid's number 10 in the La Liga opener against Osasuna in mid-August, marking the beginning of a new era. He is expected to inherit Modi's role as a spiritual leader both inside and outside the team, leading Real Madrid to a stellar season.
