Mbappe's father splashes out £14k on 100 Real Madrid jerseys
Wilfried Mbappe did not wait a single day after Kylian Mbappe’s presentation and immediately bought over 100 of his son's Real Madrid jerseys. He paid over £14,000 for the souvenirs.
On Tuesday, Kylian Mbappe was presented as the new Real Madrid player. His move from Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League winners is the biggest event of the summer transfer window worldwide. The French national player's transfer had been talked about for years until it finally became a reality.
The presentation of the new Real Madrid player was organised with great flair and attracted enormous interest from the media and fans.
Kylian Mbappe arrived in Madrid accompanied by, among others, his parents. Wilfried Mbappe and Fayza Lamari displayed various emotions. The outstanding athlete's mother was moved, while his father beamed with satisfaction.
After the presentation, Wilfried Mbappe immediately decided to buy 100 of Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid jerseys. He will likely present them to family and close friends. But that's not all. According to the portal "Defensa Central", Wilfried Mbappe bought the jerseys for the wards of the "Inspired by KM" foundation. The young people from the foundation were even present at the presentation.
Spanish media calculated that Wilfried Mbappe's shopping spree cost over £14,000. One jersey in the official store costs €185, so for over a hundred jerseys, you need to pay over €18,000. However, it can be assumed that such a special guest at the event received some discount.
That does not change the fact that Wilfried Mbappe went on a spree in the Real Madrid store. It is, however, hardly surprising. His son signed a contract with the most titled club in the history of the Champions League.
