Such was the demand, combined with shipping issues in the club’s supply chain, that some fans had to wait months to get their jersey of the French star in Spain.
However, those who have not yet purchased their Bondynois jersey may want to wait. According to The Athletic, new Brazilian star Endrick Felipe dreams of wearing the number 9 and hopes to one day pull on the jersey worn by Ronaldo Nazario.
10 for Mbappé?
He will have little chance of taking this number from Mbappé, but he could free himself up: if Luka Modric leaves, the number 10 will become available and the Frenchman could be tempted to take Modric’s place.
Modric extended his contract by a further year in the summer and is set to become Real Madrid’s oldest player this season before leaving in the next transfer window. Only the 38-year-old will know how long he can continue playing, but even he would admit that Endrick and Mbappe have a good chance of outliving him.
