As the Spanish AS reported, PSG has already been able to sell 150,000 copies of the new Messi jersey to the enthusiastic fans of the Parisian within seven minutes after the official announcement of the obligation.

According to AS, PSG now wants to renegotiate this deal now in order to fully exploit the Messi Hype financially.
