If you're a fan of soccer legends and want to own an authentic-looking Xavi Hernandez football jersey, purchasing through Chinese platforms can be a cost-effective solution. This guide will walk you through buying via Sugargoo, a reputable China-based forwarding and shopping agent, combined with Weidian, a popular Chinese e-commerce marketplace.
Sugargoo operates as a shopping agent
Most authentic resellers cannot stock retired players' official jerseys at retail prices. However, skilled vendors on Weidian recreate classic designs, from his early 2000s Barcelona home kit to the 2015 Al-Sadd away jersey. Many sell for just ¥80-220 (roughly $12-35 USD).
I've compiled reliable jersey sellers' info (multiple options for Xavi jerseys) in this comparison spreadsheet, including store ratings, price breaks for bulk orders, and material types (breathable mesh vs. standard polyester). Weidian sellers like "Ball Lover KL23" specialize in La Liga legends and are fan-group approved.
Sugargoo offers methods developed specifically for jerseys:
Strangely, these retailers rarely sell internationally due to minimum shipping thresholds (typically 15+ jerseys). Sugargoo breaks down bulk listings and escrows transactions — that’s why forum posts for 2016 deluxe lettering patches now show Sugargoo over Superbuy!
