Kylian Mbappé is causing lots of excitement with his arrival at Real Madrid from Paris Saint Germain, and due to his popularity across Europe and the world, the shirt sales were set to be high. The demand for the jerseys is at an all-time high, which is set to be more than when Cristiano Ronaldo joined in 2009. Many requests for Mbappé’s jersey were shown online when fans couldn’t open the website or were told that the shirt would arrive in weeks instead of days.
Pablo Gallego reports that because of the high requests for Mbappé shirts, Real Madrid had to use their official store in Gran Via to sell only Kylian Mbappé shirts. The Real Madrid store seemed to be the Kylian Mbappé store for the past few days and it will continue to be the most high demanded jersey of the summer ahead of next season.
Mbappé is officially a Real Madrid player, and his number 9 jersey is gaining lots of popularity, one because it is a new number the French star has not worn in his professional career so far. Mbappé seems to be following in Ronaldo’s footsteps as he is wearing the number 9 shirt in his first season with Real Madrid.
Mbappé posed with the club President, Florentino Perez, earlier today before the presentation. It was an amazing picture to see after many fans speculated for months that he would join the club this summer. Real Madrid fans are happy to see that the shirt and the photo are real after years of Photoshop pictures because of the rumors of him joining Los Blancos.
Perez gave some nice words towards the player to making the move by saying, “I want you to know Kylian that this love you have for this club gave you the strength to overcome all the obstacles. Kylian, you made an effort so big that people wouldn’t even believe in it order to come here. You’re here because you never gave up on your dream.”
Mbappé makes the fans happy with an interesting comment
After lots of speculation, Mbappé finally arrived at Real Madrid and a comment he made caught the attention of many fans.
Mbappé said, “We won guys. We won. I’m here. I’m finally a Real Madrid player. Madridstas gave me so much love all these years.”
“Thank you so much. This is a dream come true. Now I have another dream. To match your expectations.”
