Real Madrid Offers No. 10 Shirt to French Star Mbappé
Madrid – SABA:
Spanish media have reported that Real Madrid has offered French forward Kylian Mbappé the iconic No. 10 shirt for the upcoming season.
According to the program El Chiringuito, the Spanish club proposed that Mbappé wear the jersey previously donned by Croatian legend Luka Modrić, following the veteran midfielder's departure from the team.
Mbappé initially began his journey with Real Madrid wearing the No. 9 shirt, as his preferred number 7 was already taken by Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior. Now, the No. 10—once worn by Modrić—will be handed to the French striker.
The No. 10 shirt carries a prestigious legacy at Real Madrid, having been worn by legendary players such as Mesut Özil, Portuguese icon Luís Figo, Clarence Seedorf, and most recently, Luka Modrić.
It's worth noting that Mbappé also wears the No. 10 for the French national team and considers it his favorite number, alongside the No. 7, which he famously wore at Paris Saint-Germain in honor of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid announces departure of defender Vallejo following contract expiry
Madrid - Saba: Real Madrid announced on Friday the departure of defender Jesús Vallejo following the expiration of his contract with the club at the end of the current 2024-2025 season. In a statement published on its official website, the Royal Club said: "Real Madrid CF announces the end of Jesús Vallejo's journey at Real Madrid." The statement added: "Real Madrid extends its gratitude to Jesús Vallejo for his professionalism, dedication, and hard work, and wishes him and his family all the best in this new chapter of his life." Vallejo, 28, joined Real Madrid from Zaragoza in 2015 but only played for Los Blancos in five seasons, making 35 appearances and scoring one goal.

Paris Saint-Germain to clash with Inter Milan in champions league final
Munich – Saba: Paris Saint-Germain is set to face Inter Milan tomorrow Saturday in the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. The match, with Romanian referee Istvan Kovac officiating, marks the first-ever Champions League encounter between the two clubs and only the second final between French and Italian teams. The previous one was in the 1992/93 season when Marseille defeated Milan 1-0, also held in Munich. Paris Saint-Germain is making its second final appearance in the last five years, having previously lost to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final. The French club aims to secure its first Champions League title, a long-sought-after ambition after their near miss in 2020. Inter Milan, who reached the final in 2023 and last won the title in 2010, are vying for their fourth Champions League trophy under coach Simone Inzaghi. They will rely on key players such as Argentina's World Cup winner Lautaro Martinez, Nicolo Barella, goalkeeper Yann Sommer, and Pavard. Tournament regulations state that if the match ends in a draw, two 15-minute extra periods will be played. If the score remains tied after extra time, the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout. The victor of this final will then compete in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur, the current European champions. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
