Many fans have a hobby of collecting home team shirts, and among the 20 home shirts of Premier League clubs in the new season, Arsenal's player shirt is the most expensive, with a price of 100 pounds, and the fan version of the shirt costs 55 pounds, almost half the price of the player's jersey.

(Note: The Player's Edition Jersey is the same quality as the Player's jersey, and the Fan Edition Jersey is a replica of the Player's Jersey that is of lower quality than the Player's Jersey.) ）

However, Tan Xibi's player version and fan version of the shirt are priced separately, with the home player version of the shirt being £120 and the home fan version being £66, and both the away and second away kit versions are also priced higher than the team's kit.

As for why the price alone exceeds the price of the team's two versions, the reason given by Puma, the supplier of Arsenal's jerseys, is strong, impossible to refuse, and very tempting: Huaguo's future Mr. Golden Ball, the jersey of the early days of his debut is worth collecting.

In fact, the jersey that is more worthy of the collection of Chinese fans is the first team that Tan Xibi played for, Sporting Portugal.

Unfortunately, Tan Xibi only played 14 games for the first team of Sporting de Portugal in the new season, and the Lisbon Eagles shirt was provided by Italian brand Macron, the international second- and third-tier sports brand has not yet realized the value of Tan Xibi, so the shirt is not priced high, and the number of production is not much, but it is also more collectible.

As Tan Xibi left Portugal soon, his home, away, and second away jerseys of the Portuguese sports team added up to less than 5,000 pieces, after Tan Xibi became famous in the British Isles, the price of the jerseys of the few Portuguese sports teams printed with the name of No. 28 Tan Xibi has risen, and many Chinese fans posted on the Internet to buy at a high price, it is said that the price of Tan Xibi's home jersey of the Portuguese sports team has risen to 10,000 Chinese dollars!

It is also said that Macron's boss cried and fainted in the toilet, regretting why he didn't print more Tan Xibi's jersey in the first place.

———— dividing line of story————

A.T. Kearney training base, CEO's office, Ivan Gazidis looked straight at the October jersey sales report and the jersey sales forecast so far, and the American's eyes were mixed with mixed eyes.

The number and amount of jersey sales in October are different from the past, and since October 22, the sales data has increased by nearly half compared with the same period, and the reason is very simple, Tan Xibi's jersey sales have brought.

Although November is not over yet, Chief Commercial Officer Tom Fox has made a report to Gazidis as of the end of last week, which means that Arsenal have seen explosive growth in shirt sales this month.

"If nothing else, the sales volume of this moon jersey is ten times that of last month......" Fox swallowed his saliva, with a "baby frightened" expression on his face, "The main growth point is Wall's jerseys, whether it is sales in the United Kingdom, or in Europe and China, the increase is like a rocket taking off." ”

Gazidis's heart was shocked, although he was mentally prepared that Tan Xibi would bring benefits to the team, but what he didn't expect was that just the sales of jerseys, Tan Xibi's sales alone accounted for half of the entire team in November!

By the end of this season, Arsenal's jersey sales are likely to surpass those of Real Madrid and Barcelona for the first time, and for the first time to top the single-season jersey sales list of European clubs.

It is no wonder that Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid sent faxes to buy Tan Xibi at this time, in addition to the young Chinese football level can be among the world's ranks, there is also the huge commercial market behind it and the commercial value of the individual who is not inferior to the peerless double pride and the Brazilian upstart Neymar.

"Dick-me!" Gazidis sighed, Fox heard the strings and knew the elegance, the boss was in pain, because when Tan Xibi joined, Dick Law, who was in charge of the negotiation of the player's contract, did not talk to Tan Xibi about the portrait rights, and the senior management of the club at that time except for Arsène Win, no one knew Tan Xibi's strength and potential, and they didn't know what he would bring to Arsenal, so in the case of despising this Chinese, Tan Xibi's portrait rights were 100% in his hands, As a result, Arsenal is likely to lose huge commercial returns during Tan Xibi's contract period.

Dick Law, who has left Arsenal, must say that this pot is not carried by Lao Tzu, after all, in the environment at the time, who knew that this Chinese man would immediately show strong competitive strength and competition level, not only did not need to adapt to the Premier League, but also used continuous goals and assists as a midfielder to help Arsenal win five consecutive league victories, bringing Arsenal to the third place in the league, beating the two blue and white rivals in the same city.

"The news from Puma's side that if the contract expires and they no longer work together, they will choose Manchester City." Fawkes immediately distracted Gazidis.

"Price?"

"I heard £50 million a year."

£50 million?

Gazidis's eyes were shining, and his heart was eager to burst out.

Ma Maipi Oh, give us Arsenal only 30 million, and give Manchester City, the nouveau riche, 50 million?

Who is the richest family?

Manchester City have done well this season, but we have taken them away from home and broken their unbeaten league run!

With we only two games away from Manchester City before the halfway point, are the dog-day Germans so sure they can win the Premier League?

"If Manchester City sign this contract, they will be in the top four in the list of jersey sponsorship revenues, right?" Gazidis suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"It should be in the top five, because next season Paris and Nike will come into force with a new contract of 60 million euros a year, which is a bit higher than Manchester City in pounds." Fox dropped another bomb.

The baby's heart hurts, the baby's heart is so bitter!

Gazidis feels a little dizzy, hemp wheat skin! Why do these nouveau riche get more sponsorship than we do?

It's not scientific, oh no, it's not commercial!

"Contact Nike and Adidas immediately, as well as other companies, and we must at least get sponsorship from Manchester United!" Gazidis said categorically.

"Boss, Adidas is a German company, this is ......" Fox reminded, Tan Xibi issued a statement, if they look for a German company, what if Tan Xibi wants to leave?

"Then don't look for Germany." "As long as Wall performs well this season, coupled with the huge Chinese market behind him, and we provide Wall's jersey sales, I believe it will not be a big problem to get a higher sponsorship than Manchester City!" ”

In the list of jersey sponsorship income of world football clubs, the top five are Barcelona (100 million pounds/year), Manchester United (75 million pounds/year), Chelsea (60 million pounds/year), Bayern Munich (42.5 million pounds/year), and Real Madrid (34 million pounds/year).

It is worth mentioning that as the most successful European football giant last season, Real Madrid's shirt sponsorship ranked nearly fifth, which is extremely inconsistent with its football status, so there is an endless stream of news about Real Madrid's sky-high contract renewal or gold exchange, and it has not yet been decided.

What is certain, however, is that Real Madrid's new shirt sponsorship will soon overtake arch-rivals Barcelona to the top of the table.

This week, Arsenal's upcoming double-game schedule of the week is set to begin on Wednesday night, and the news that Tan Xibi is not in the starting list has sparked controversy.
