According to AS, the €35 million hot-shot could take the No. 19 jersey, which is currently worn by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Los Blancos are currently deep in negotiations to sell the Dutchman to Stuttgart, who have reportedly made a tempting €18m bid plus incentives, and if Madrid successfully off-load the striker by tomorrow evening, the number will be made available for ‘Benzinho’.
The 21-year-old wore the No. 10 at Lyon - and the No. 9 with France - but it is occupied at present by Wesley Sneijder, another player who could leave the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer trade period, although he is unlikely to vacate the number before tomorrow.
The new-look Galacticos will be seen for the very first time on July 20, when they take on Irish side Shamrock Rovers at the 3,500-capacity Tallaght Stadium. Kaka, however, will not be present as he is still on holiday and will only join up with the squad on July 27.
