Real Madrid has officially announced the squad numbers for all its players for the 2026/27 season. With no significant changes among the returning players, the numbers assigned to the six new signings garnered the most attention.
Defender Ibrahima Konaté has chosen the No. 16 jersey, while the subsequent No. 17 is designated for left-back Marc Cucurella. Forward Carlos Espi will wear No. 19, and midfielder Bernardo Silva has opted for No. 20. Right-back Denzel Dumfries will sport No. 24, and the club's most expensive signing in history, winger Yan Diomande, has taken the No. 25 shirt.
The No. 1 remains with first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, while new captain Federico Valverde continues to wear No. 8. For now, No. 9 will be held by Endrick. Top scorer Kylian Mbappé will wear No. 10 for the second consecutive season, and the other two major stars, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, also retain their previous numbers, No. 5 and No. 7, respectively.
Meanwhile, Cucurella and Konaté began training with their new team today, and Diomande is already training alongside his teammates, meaning José Mourinho can count on all the new additions. French internationals Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni have also resumed their training regimen.
