“These figures are hard to believe, but if they turned out to be true, it would be an absolute football record. Until now, it belonged to Cristian Ronald. According to Footy Headlines, approximately 520,000 jerseys were sold after his transfer to Juventus. The total number includes not only those jerseys that are sold in brick-and-mortar stores, but also orders on the PSG website. ” states Polish website sport.pl.

The rest of the money goes to the jersey manufacturer. Irrespective of whether the information on the number of T-shirts sold is correct, in a few days PSG earned more than EUR 10 million on T-shirt sales alone.
