Just 48 hours after the official announcement of Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid, the Spanish club is already facing unprecedented challenges in managing its new star. From the inability to commercialize jerseys bearing his name to the fans’ towering expectations, Real Madrid must navigate the hurdles posed by the transfer of the French phenomenon.
Real Madrid supporters received the news of Kylian Mbappé’s signing on Monday night with enthusiasm. However, the club swiftly encountered a major issue. One of the primary concerns for the Casa Blanca club revolves around the commercialization of jerseys adorned with Kylian Mbappé’s name.
While Madrid fans eagerly anticipated purchasing the new club jerseys featuring the French star, they’ll have to wait a bit longer. According to Le Parisien, the club explained that they couldn’t print Mbappé’s name on jerseys until his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired, which is until June 30, 2024.
This decision, driven by legal considerations, is likely to disappoint numerous supporters. Beyond this merchandising problem, Real Madrid also faces the towering expectations of its fans regarding Kylian Mbappé.
Regarded as one of the best players in the world, the young French striker embodies all the hopes of Madrid fans. They expect him to lead the club to the conquest of new prestigious titles, such as the Champions League. But will this pressure be too much for the player? Real Madrid must ensure to handle this situation with the utmost caution, so as not to overwhelm Mbappé and allow him to fully flourish in his new team.
A scrutinized transfer
After sporting and marketing stakes, Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid is also a major event from a media perspective. All eyes will be on the Spanish club and its new gem. Every performance, every statement will be scrutinized by global football observers. Real Madrid will thus have to contend with increased visibility, amplifying the challenges associated with managing Kylian Mbappé even further.
A delicate situation to handle for the merengue club, which must demonstrate great mastery to get the best out of its new recruit. One thing is certain, Kylian Mbappé jerseys will be sold in Real Madrid stores starting July 1st, not before. Florentino Perez’s club does not wish to encounter further issues with PSG, with which it maintains somewhat tense relations. Even Kylian Mbappé added fuel to the fire yesterday in a press conference, accusing President Nasser of threatening to relegate him to the stands for the season. An accusation to which the club vehemently responded.
