Kylian Mbappé is not the PSG player who sells the most jerseys. One of his teammates surpassed him in this area.
Kylian Mbappé may be the most successful player at Paris SG, but he is not the one who generates the most jersey sales. At least not anymore. As surprising as it may seem, he is now ahead of a player who has just arrived at the club. And who doesn’t play much at all.
Mbappé is no longer at the top
The player in question is the South Korean Lee Kang-In. According to journalist Abdellah Boulma, the former member of Real Mallorca is therefore the Parisian who sells the most tunics this season. He would be ahead of the Bondyn prodigy by a short head.

Lee Kang-In is popular, even though he has hardly played with the French champions since his arrival. In total, it only lasts 122 minutes. Between his injury at the start of the season and his participation in the Asian Games, he was not at all able to justify the 22 million spent on him by the Ile-de-France management.
As a reminder, last season, it was Lionel Messi who mainly delighted the PSG shops. The Argentinian was also the player who sold the most jerseys in the world, ahead of his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Mbappé and Haaland.
