Mbappé Refuses Benzema's Legacy at Real Madrid

French star Kylian Mbappé, of Paris Saint-Germain, has declined to inherit the legacy of his compatriot Karim Benzema, the current Al-Ittihad striker and former Real Madrid player. Numerous reports have indicated that Mbappé has already signed contracts for his transfer to Real Madrid, valid until the summer of 2029. According to Spanish network "Defensa Central," there is no longer any doubt that Mbappé's future will be at Real Madrid starting next summer. They pointed out that representatives of Mbappé and Real Madrid have meticulously discussed all the details of the French star's deal to avoid any conflict. It was revealed that Faeza Lamari, Mbappé's mother and agent, personally told Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez that the Paris star does not like the jersey number 9 and does not want to wear it with the team. It was noted that Mbappé will wear jersey number 10, which is currently worn by Luka Modrić, who is in the final months of his time at Real Madrid. Benzema wore the number 9 jersey at Real Madrid, and the number has remained available since his departure last summer.
