📸 Nine left free as Real Madrid reveal Joselu shirt number | OneFootball

Joselu will wear the number 14 shirt at Real Madrid, the club have confirmed.

The striker completed a return to the club after more than a decade away on Monday but will not take Karim Benzema’s vacated number nine jersey despite reports Real Madrid will not sign another forward this summer.

Widespread reports this week have said the club from the Spanish capital are happy with their options and will stick with them for the upcoming 2023/24 campaign but the number nine shirt being left free will raise some questions.

Kylian Mbappé is out of contract in a year and Madrid are favourites to sign him but could a deal still be struck this summer with Paris Saint-Germain said to be keen on selling the forward before losing him for nothing?
