As revealed during his official presentation, Fran García will wear the number 20. This means that Vinicius will change his number. With the departures of Asensio, Benzema and Hazard, numbers 11, 9 and 7 had been released, therefore Vinicius from now on will wear the legendary number 7 jersey at Real Madrid.

This is how the Real Madrid numbers look currently:

• 1. Courtois
• 2. Carvajal
• 3. Militao
• 4. Alaba
• 5. Vallejo
• 6. Nacho
• 7. Vinicius
• 8. Kroos
• 9.
• 10. Modric
• 11. Rodrygo
• 12. Camavinga
• 13. Lunin
• 14.
• 15. Valverde
• 16. Odriozola
• 17. Lucas
• 18. Tchouaméni
• 19. Ceballos
• 20. Fran García
• 21.
• 22. Rüdiger
• 23. Mendy
• 24.
• 25.

Rodrygo will take the 11 of Marco Asensio and release the 21, which may be taken by Brahim Diaz. With these changes, the two Brazilians establish themselves now as key members of the team.

There are now two issues that need to be resolved. Who will take number 9, the number that Karim Benzema orphaned with his departure, and what number Jude Bellingham will wear on his back when he is presented. He has always worn the 22, which is now owned by Rüdiger. Will there be another number dance in the squad soon? Maybe yes...
