Fans all around the world are clamoring to get their hands on Kylian Mbappé’s new jersey as the excitement and anticipation surrounding his transfer to Real Madrid reach previously unheard-of heights. Orders on the official Real Madrid website surged dramatically after the official release of the Mbappé kit, considerably above initial forecasts and expectations.
Within hours of the kit’s release, the demand became so intense that Real Madrid was forced to issue a statement addressing the unforeseen delays. The statement reads:
“Items in this collection may face a delivery delay of up to 4-6 additional weeks due to current strong demand, regardless of the shipping option selected. Orders that are limited to the Mbappé collection as well as those that mix Mbappé collection items with other items from the online store will be impacted by this delay.
This news demonstrates the enormous number of orders placed for Mbappé’s shirt, with supporters apparently unfazed by the lengthy wait times. However, the wait times for the jerseys of other players continue to be far shorter, a sign of the exceptional demand for Mbappé’s particular product. On July 16 at noon, the French superstar will be introduced at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in what looks to be a jam-packed and joyous occasion.
