Mbappé onslaught "lets Real Madrid collapse"
180 Euro for Jersey and then a six-week wait: Anyone interested in the new dress of football superstar Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid needs to dig deep into their pockets and be patient. The shop of the Royals was completely overwhelmed on the first day.
Kylian Mbappé's new jersey from Real Madrid proved to be a sales hit on the first day. Whether short-sleeved or long-sleeved, for men or women, children or babies, there was a sign for it in the online shop of the Royals. "Due to the currently high demand, there may be a delivery delay of up to an additional 4-6 weeks for articles from this collection, regardless of the chosen shipping method", it said in the webshop.
There are eleven different models available in various sizes, the most expensive one costs 180 Euro, baby jerseys cost a substantial 80 Euro. However, it seems that patience is required from Madrid and Mbappé fans first. For example, if someone wants to order a jersey of Germany's defender Antonio Rüdiger online, they only need to calculate three or four days for the personalization of the collar.
The sales of Mbappé's jerseys exceeded what the club had planned for months, wrote the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca": "Mbappé makes Real Madrid collapse on his first day." Mbappe wears the number 9. Midfielder Fede Valverde takes over the "8" from ex-pro Toni Kroos. The 34-year-old had ended his club career after the Champions League victory against Borussia Dortmund and made a complete exit from the DFB after the EM in the Viertelfinale against Spain.
The 25-year-old Frenchman, who failed with the Tricolore team in the EM halbfinale against Spain, is scheduled to be presented with a grand spectacle at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on the coming Tuesday of the week. From 12 pm, a large festival with thousands of fans is planned. Before that, Mbappe will sign his five-year contract with Real-President Florentino Pérez. He had switched to the Royals on July 1, having been contract-free after seven years at Paris Saint-Germain.
The high demand for Kylian Mbappé's jersey at Real Madrid, regardless of the size or version, led to a potential delivery delay of up to six weeks. Despite this, Mbappé's new soccer jersey proved to be a massive hit at Real Madrid, even causing the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" to declare that "Mbappé makes Real Madrid collapse on his first day."
