Modric leaves the team, who should replace the legendary No. 10 jersey? Gulaire is the best candidate!

Modric officially announced his departure

Last night, Real Madrid and Croatian legendary midfielder Modric posted a long article on his social media that he would leave Real Madrid, who had been playing for 13 years after the end of the Club World Cup. Then Real Madrid officially confirmed the news. So far, Modric has become the second most foreign player with the most appearances for Real Madrid after Benzema, and he has even become the player with the most championships in Real Madrid's history with 28 championship trophys. Since the 2017-18 season, Modric has wore Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey, becoming the most successful and greatest No. 10 player in Real Madrid's history. The last owner of this jersey was James Rodriguez. Before this, Ozil, Sneider, Las Diarra, Robinho, Figo, Seidov, Lauderup and others wore No. 10 jerseys to play for Real Madrid. So who will take over Modric's mantle and become Real Madrid's new No. 10 next season? Perhaps the Turkish young player Gulaire is the best candidate.

9 Mbappe

Some people think Mbappe is more suitable to take over the No. 10 jersey, after all, he wears No. 10 in the French national team, and he is the biggest star in Real Madrid at present. However, from the perspective of the on-court position, Mbappe is a forward, and Real Madrid does not seem to have plans to introduce other centers, so Mbappe should continue to play the role of center next season. His performance at the center position this season is still very satisfactory. He has scored 29 goals with one round left in the La Liga. While locking in the La Liga Golden Boot, he may even win the European Golden Boot Award. If Real Madrid determines to fix Mbappe in the center position, then the number 9 now is the number that suits him the most. In fact, Real Madrid's No. 9 is also very legendary. Superstars such as Benzema, Ronaldo, and Ronaldo have all wore No. 9 jerseys to play for Real Madrid.

5 Bellingham

Some people think that Bellingham is also suitable for taking over the No. 10 jersey, because he wears No. 10 in England, and his on-court position also symbolizes the No. 10 front midfielder. However, Bellingham's No. 5 jersey was strategically planned. This number has been symbolic since Zidane's era, and Real Madrid hopes to echo Zidane at the competitive and commercial levels through this number. Bellingham has worn No. 5 for two consecutive seasons. It is generally felt by the outside world that he just wants to use this number to create his own history. So the probability of Bellingham wearing Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey is not high. Will Real Madrid introduce a top midfielder from the transfer market to replace Modric's No. 10 jersey? The midfield stars who have been rumored to have scandals with Real Madrid so far include Wiltz, Zubimendi, McAllister, Stile, Enzo Fernandez, Palacios, etc. In fact, it is very difficult for Real Madrid to introduce any of these players. Some ask for too high prices, some don't negotiate with Real Madrid at all, so it's almost impossible to introduce a famous No. 10 player from the transfer market. The only cost-effective option is to buy back Nico Pas from Cuomo, but he has little experience and has not had a stable playing experience in Real Madrid's first team. If he takes over Modric's No. 10 jersey, it may be difficult to convince everyone.

15 Gulaire

In fact, the most suitable player to replace Modric's No. 10 mantle is Turkish young player Gulaire. Born in February 2005, Gulaire is just over 20 years old. He is very talented, has delicate foot skills and ball control ability, and has a broad vision, accurate passing and outstanding set-piece skills. Moreover, his off-ball run is very flexible, and he can seize the fleeting opportunity to score in or outside the penalty area. Gulaire's shortcomings are his slow speed and weak ability to fight and defend, which makes people feel that he is a classical midfielder. However, judging from Real Madrid's performance in the 33rd round of La Liga this season, Guillail's improvement is obvious. He invests more in defense than before, and sometimes he will retreat to a position deeper than the two midfielders to meet and pass the ball. So as long as Gulaire is placed in the most suitable midfield position for him and then give him enough playing time, his performance and role will definitely not be inferior to Wilz. More importantly, Gulaire is a left-foot player. His left-foot skills are already quite exquisite. In time, he is likely to become a combination of Guti and Modric. Therefore, Gulaire can not only provide Real Madrid with instant combat power, but also have great potential to explore. Such a Guillail is definitely suitable to replace Modric as Real Madrid's next No. 10.
