The number “9” was vacant in Real Madrid’s squad after Benzema’s departure.
After making his signing officialthe young Turkish promise Arda Güler is already making Real Madrid enthusiastic. There were two free numbers in the white first team for the Turk: 9 and 25. However, he will wear the 24th.
Number 25 can only be chosen by an outfield player if all numbers from 1 to 24 are taken and the club takes the decision to enter only two goalkeepers in the first team. That is, a few hours after her presentation, Arda could only choose number 9.
that number is waiting with reservations for what happens with Kyliam Mbappé’s future and it was not foreseeable that Güler would be Benzema’s heir.
With this panorama, the options the Turk later had were those of the number 16when I come out Odriozola, He 24 when he leaves Vallejo and 25, as long as 9 is covered by another player. It should be remembered that Vallejo had already given his number, number 5, to Bellingham and now the same thing happened to Arda.
In his club of origin, Güler wore the 10, but that is still owned by Modric. The future will tell if Arda can not only wear it in the coming years, but come close to the Croat’s performance with the Meringues shirt.
