Real Madrid have signed Kilian McBarbie and made a fortune before they even started. According to Spanish Marca, the French international has sold five times as many Real Madrid jerseys in his No. 9 number after joining the 'Galacticos' as Zuti did when he joined Ninham the previous year, showing that his commercial value is far superior to that of Ninham's.
Last summer, Zudi Binningham took over the Real Madrid No. 5 jersey. There was a rush to buy it because it once belonged to the king of the ball, Schiedam, but compared to the sales of McBarbie's No. 9 jersey, it was almost nothing. First of all, when Zudbinenham joined Real Madrid, he was not famous and could not compare to McBarbie's status. Secondly, when McBarbie idolized Cron to join Real Madrid for the first season, it was number 9. This time, McBarbie inherited his idol's 'mantle' and was full of talk, making the No. 9 jersey even more popular.
Real Madrid FC are reportedly confident that they can sell more than 4 million McBarbie No. 9 jerseys this season.
