O Real Madrid prepares for a renewal next season. Besides the departure of Karim Benzema and the arrival of new players, the club also made changes to the numbering of the squad. The Brazilians Vini Jr. and Rodrygo will wear jerseys number 7 and 11, respectively.
In this way, the double number change from next season onwards will assume even more prominence at Real Madrid. Vini Jr. will wear shirt number 7, which was worn by Cristiano Ronaldo at the merengue club. Before the Brazilian, the number was represented by Mariano and Eden Hazard, who recently announced their departure from the Madrid team.
Rodrygo will wear shirt number 11, which belonged to Marco Asensio. The Spaniard will also not follow at Real Madrid in 2023/24. Rodrygo’s new numbering has already been used by another Brazilian at the Meringue club, Ronaldo Fenômeno.
In addition to changing numbers, Real Madrid also announced the arrival of new players this week. O attacker Brahim Diaz and the side Fran Garcia will reinforce the madridista squad next season and will “inherit” the shirts number 21 and 20, respectively, which belonged to Rodrygo and Vini Jr.
