In recent weeks, many discussions have taken place concerning the new new number of Real Madrid.
The passage of Kylian Mbappé at number 10 following the departure of Luka Modric left the emblematic number in suspense, and the club has now made a decision.
Two candidates were in the running for this position: Endrick Felipe and Gonzalo Garcia. The first was expected to carry him at some point in his career to Real Madrid, but the emergence of the second in recent months has sowed doubt, especially since recent rumors announced that the 21 -year -old would be the winner of this race.
But this is not the case. As The Athletic reports, Real Madrid decided that Endrick would be the new number of the club, an announcement that should take place before the start of the new season, next weekend.

The arrival of Endrick at the number new marks a fairly brutal turnaround. Earlier this summer, many media reported that Real Madrid was trying to recruit him, Mbappé and Gonzalo being the two possible attackers for the 2025-26 season.
Endrick said he was not planning to leave Real
However, Endrick clearly said he was not planning to leave Real Madrid on loan. If this position was not well received by club leaders, she did not prevent them from entrusting him with jersey number 9.
It remains to be seen how Endrick will behave in his second season at Real Madrid. He achieved good performances during his limited playing time during the 2024-25 season, and he will therefore try to perform when he returned from injury in September or October.
