Real Madrid has finalised its 2025-26 squad numbers, handing 19-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick the club’s storied No. 9 shirt vacated by Kylian Mbappé when the France captain moved to No. 10 last month. The decision confirms the club’s confidence in the teenager, who joined from Palmeiras in 2024 amid high expectations. Madrid also announced a contract extension for academy-bred striker Gonzalo García. The 21-year-old, who scored four goals in six matches during the Club World Cup run to the semi-finals, has signed through June 2030 and will wear No. 16 after speculation he might inherit No. 9. Head coach Xabi Alonso views García as part of the first-team plans following his breakthrough summer. Across La Liga, Barcelona updated its roster list with 17-year-old centre-back Pau Cubarsí taking the No. 5 jersey previously worn by Iñigo Martínez, whose transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr is nearing completion. Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen appears without a squad number amid an ongoing disciplinary dispute, highlighting further uncertainty in Hansi Flick’s first-team plans.
