Sthere is a Red Devil who is important for his club, it is Kevin De Bruyne. Impressive for a few years now at Manchester City, the Belgian is also very important for the club’s merchandising.
Indeed, according to a ranking by the Euromericas agency, which ranked the ten players who contributed to selling the most shirts in their name over the twelve months of 2021, KDB would rank 9th with more than 600,000 shirts sold.
Far behind Messi
Unsurprisingly, it is Lionel Messi who dominates this ranking. With nearly 1.2 million shirts sold in his name, he is well ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is at nearly one million. The reason ? Each year, the Argentinian is already, in normal times, one of the players with the most popularity on the world market. His ultra-publicized transfer to Paris Saint-Germain also played a role since on the PSG side, we talk about “the best launch in history” about the sale of club shirts flocked in the name of Messi.
