Fran García will wear Vinicius’ number 20, which he has worn since he joined the team, while Rodrygo will wear Asensio’s 11, which Bale wore
Bellingham could inherit the 22, the one he wore at Borussia and wears with his team, and that Rudiger is willing to give him, while Brahim still hasn’t
Real Madrid is in the middle of renewing its squad and one of the consequences is the dance of bibs. With the departures of Benzema, Asensio, Hazard and Mariano numbers 9, 11, 7 were released and 24 respectively. Two of them are already awarded, 7 will be for Vinicius who inherits a mythical number that led from Cristiano Ronaldo to Amancioand Rodrygo the 11, who wore Asensio and inherited from Bale when he went on loan to Tottenham. While Fran García, presented yesterday, will wear Vinicius’ 20
There are five numbers left to be awarded for the reinforcements that are to come Bellingham could wear the 22 that Rudiger has worn this season. The German is willing to give it up Knowing that he is the one who has led at Borussia and has led with his team. There is a good story behind that number 22 discovered by Mike Dodds, his trainer when I was a child: “He told me that he wanted to be a 10 and I told him that it could be a 22. He asked me what I meant and I said: ‘You can be a 4, an 8, or a 10, someone who does it all’.” The three add up to 22 and that marked the player.
NO DORSALS
Except for Vinicius and Rodrygo, and possibly Rudiger, the other players will keep the numbers they have worn this seasonalthough they could change them and take those that are free or may be. Vallejo, who wears the 5 mythical of Zidane; Odriozola, on the 16th; Lunin, the 13th even Modric, who has the 10 but that his continuity is not assured given that tempting offer he has from Saudi Arabia soccer, would be sensitive to being inherited for the players who will continue in the squad or those who are new.
Brahim’s return is confirmed after his two years on loan at Milan. At the moment he does not have a number awarded, but he could wear the 21 that Rodrygo inherited from himself. And it is that the Andalusian wore that number in his first full season in the white team, 19-20. Waiting for confirmation the arrival of Joselu, who could take 9although they would reserve that number in case they sign a front-line nineand David Soria, who would inherit the 13 of Lunin if he leaves or the 25. At the moment, five numbers are still free.
