Want Mbappe's Real Madrid number 9 jersey? Here's what you should know

Sold out!

Real Madrid placed Kylian Mbappe's merchandise for sale on July 11th, unleashing the madness revolving around Real Madrid's new number 9. Fans from all over the world gathered to be the first to purchase the new shirt of the French star.

Insufficient foresight

Both Adidas and Real Madrid were aware of the possible boom in sales following Mbappe's arrival, therefore the German brand prepared a "historic stock" to meet the steep demand.

Waiting 4-6 weeks

The demand has been so high, that both Real Madrid and Adidas claimed they had to issue delays of 4–6 weeks to restock and finalize sales.

From 3-4 days to a month and a half

To put it in context, the usual shipment of Real Madrid shirts usually takes 3–4 days to arrive. The highest sales forecasts for Adidas and Real Madrid were, at most, 3 weeks late. The Mbappe madness has reached the Bernabeu.

All set for the debut?

That is, those who requested the shirt with the number 9 now may receive it almost when the Frenchman makes his debut as a Real Madrid player at the Santiago Bernabeu: on August 25, at 5:00 p.m., against Valladolid (La Liga).

Shirt price

The price of Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid shirt is 170 euros (£142/$185), of which 33% would go to Real Madrid, according to the agreement with Adidas.

Make it rain!

Thus, assuming that the Frenchman has sold one million shirts, that is, 170 million euros, Real Madrid would receive 56.1 million euros.

Dream fulfilled

Considering that everything indicates that there have been well over a million units sold, it is possible that the signing of the Frenchman has broken even in just one day!
