However, we have no documentation that can confirm match use, and therefore it is not sold as documented matchworn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt shows \u003cstrong\u003eclear signs of use\u003c\/strong\u003e in the form of many bobbles and pulls in the material. The wear may be consistent with extensive use but cannot in itself prove that the shirt was worn by Karembeu in an official match. We therefore prefer to be conservative about the provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the back is \u003cstrong\u003eKarembeu 16\u003c\/strong\u003e, which connects the model with the French midfielder's period in Genoa. \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Karembeu\u003c\/strong\u003e was known for his enormous work rate, physique, and versatility, and later became both a world and European champion with France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this era, Sampdoria boasted a fascinating collection of profiles, and the club's distinctive shirts from the 90s have since achieved cult status among collectors. Karembeu shared a changing room with names like \u003cstrong\u003eRoberto Mancini\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eClarence Seedorf\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eVincenzo Montella\u003c\/strong\u003e during his time at the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of \u003cstrong\u003eKarembeu 16\u003c\/strong\u003e, the visible wear, and the history of the shirt previously being sold as matchworn, makes it an unusual collector's item – but without us attributing a match-used status that cannot be documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.retrotr%C3%B8jer.dk\/collections\/serie-a\" title=\"original retro shirts from Serie A\"\u003eoriginal retro shirts from Serie A\u003c\/a\u003e and find rare player shirts, Match Issue models, and other unique pieces of football history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retrotrøjer.dk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57276307210505,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5246\/0553\/files\/SampdoriaUdebanetroeje1996_97-Karembeu16_XXL.webp?v=1787648052","url":"https:\/\/www.retrofootballstore.co.uk\/products\/sampdoria-away-shirt-1996-97-karembeu-16-xx-large","provider":"Retrotrøjer.dk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
