According to Marca, after Modric left the team, Real Madrid has not yet determined the next owner of the No. 10 jersey, and Mbappe and Guerre are the players most likely to take over this number.
Mbappe may be able to ask for this jersey, he has the ability, image and status to match it, which is also his number in the French national team. Mbappe also wore the No. 10 jersey in the later stages of playing for Monaco. However, Mbappe has not taken the initiative to ask the club for the No. 10 jersey, and the final decision is still in the management.
Another potential successor to the No. 10 jersey is Guerre, the Turkish genius who will strive to hold the main position this season. He has the talent and qualities of a traditional No. 10 player. Alonso gave him more playing time and tactical status in the Club World Cup, and Guerre also repaid the coach's trust with his outstanding performance. In addition, Modric gave his jersey to Guerre after the last game, which may have a profound effect.
It is unlikely to leave the No. 10 jersey idle. Considering that Real Madrid still needs to register Mastantono, Gonzalo Garcia and Asensio as first-team players, the two youth training players are still wearing the numbers they used to be when they were reserved, while Real Madrid's first-team team currently has only No. 10, No. 17 and No. 25 left, which also restricts Real Madrid from signing without selling people.
From a marketing perspective, Real Madrid's No. 10 is a number with great commercial value. It has a significance far beyond the competitive level: driving jersey sales, focusing on media attention, and shaping the team's symbol. Real Madrid's choice of No. 10 player is definitely not simple.
