Paris Saint-Germain has long been a hub for some of the world’s most exceptional football talents, boasting an array of star-studded names. Over the years, the French giants have had Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappé, and Zlatan Ibrahimović to drive jersey sales.
However, this 2023-24 season is different. Gone are the big names, with Mbappé the only player remaining. While many assume that the Frenchman would drive the jersey sales, that’s not exactly the case.
Le Parisien reports that Mbappé sells the most PSG jerseys in the physical and the club’s stores. Kang- in Lee ranks second in jersey sales regarding PSG kits in the physical and club’s stores.

Nonetheless, where the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner faces competition is online. Lee sells the most jerseys online, with Mbappé ranking second in online jersey sales.
If the 22-year-old becomes a fixture for PSG in this new project under manager Luis Enrique, the South Korean’s jersey sales will likely skyrocket, regardless of whether Mbappé stays or not after this 2023-24 season.
