- Mbappé's Image Removed: Real Madrid removed Kylian Mbappé's image from a promotional Adidas fashion collection, likely due to his Nike sponsorship conflicting with Real Madrid's Adidas partnership.
- Sponsorship Conflict: The removal is believed to be due to Mbappé's Nike sponsorship clashing with the Adidas-sponsored campaign, though another Nike-sponsored player remained in the promo.
- Potential Negotiation: Mbappé's mother, known for being assertive, may be seeking additional compensation for his participation in future Adidas campaigns, leading to his exclusion.
Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé have apparently not fully agreed on how the club can use Mbappé's image. Thanks to our partner and author, Vietnamese boot expert Phân Tích Giày, for the images and info.
Real Madrid Removes Mbappé Image From New Adidas Collection Last Minute
Real Madrid removed Kylian Mbappé's image from a promotional photo for the club's brand-new charity "Artist Pack" fashion collection. We know this thanks to Jude Bellingham, who posted the original picture that featured Mbappé (Bellingham/his management later deleted it).
Bellingham accidentally posted the original image with Mbappé
The decision to exclude Mbappé likely stemmed from a clash between the competing Adidas/Nike sponsorship deals. As a prominent Nike ambassador, Mbappé was removed due to the campaign’s association with Adidas, Real Madrid's official kit sponsor. However, the situation raised further questions as Eduardo Camavinga, another Nike-sponsored player, is still featured in the campaign.
His mother and adviser, Fayza Lamari, could be responsible for this
It seems like Mbappé is receiving his usual "special treatment" again. His mother and adviser, Fayza Lamari, is known for being assertive in negotiations. She might be pushing for Mbappé to receive extra money from Madrid for future promotional Adidas campaigns.
Meanwhile, Mbappé appeared in the club kit unveiling. It could be that while Mbappé is still allowed to be featured in official club kit unveilings, his involvement in broader Adidas fashion collection campaigns is more limited.

The white Unione shirt presents a split look blending green and orange accents with line illustrations of iconic architectural landmarks from both Venice and Vienna, including the Doge's Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Both designs place the lion of Saint Mark and the Austrian eagle crests side by side above the date 15.01.2000.
During the friendly match on the Venetian lagoon, the hosts wore the black kit while Rapid took to the pitch in the white version, with Venezia edging a 1-0 victory. The limited-edition jerseys have been made available to supporters through Venezia's official online store and physical club shops.
