Real Madrid fans eager to purchase Kylian Mbappé shirts will have to wait longer than expected as the club announced a delay of “up to six additional weeks” for the delivery of the merchandise. This delay is attributed to the overwhelming demand from supporters wanting to get their hands on the new kits.
Kylian Mbappé is set to be officially presented as a Real Madrid player at the Bernabéu following his signing of a five-year deal with the club. The French forward’s journey to Madrid comes after being eliminated from Euro 2024 at the semifinal stage, where he scored just one goal after facing challenges due to a broken nose in the opening game.
Real Madrid recently unveiled their new 2024-25 kits, offering fans the chance to purchase jerseys with Mbappé’s name for the first time. The club confirmed that Mbappé will sport the No. 9 shirt this season, with other players like Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Arda Güler receiving their respective shirt numbers as well.
According to Madrid’s official online store, the high demand for Mbappé shirts has led to a delay in delivery of up to 4-6 weeks, regardless of the shipping method selected. This delay applies to orders exclusively from the Mbappé collection as well as those combining items from the collection with other products from the store.
Fans can purchase an “authentic” Mbappé home 2024-25 white, short-sleeved shirt for $215, while a standard Mbappé home 2024-25 shirt is priced at $150. Mbappé’s official presentation at the Bernabéu is scheduled for July 16 at noon local time, with club president Florentino Pérez hosting the signing of the player’s contract at the training ground before a media Q&A session in the press room.
The anticipation surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s transfer to Real Madrid has sparked a surge in demand for merchandise, causing delays in the shipping of his shirts to eager fans. Despite the setback, supporters eagerly await his official presentation and are ready to show their support for the French superstar in the upcoming season.
