According to Le Parisien, Mbappe is set to wear the number 9 jersey, but only for the first season. Then, at the start of the 2025-26 season, Mbappé will be given the number 10 jersey - Modric will be leaving the club certainly.
Mbappé has never worn the number 9 at club level and it is not his preferred position on the field. The number 9 has also been worn by Cristiano Ronaldo during his first season at Real Madrid, before he switched to the number 7 one year after.

Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves.

Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
