Yamal laminae will be the new Nike testimonial. As the newspaper writes Brandthe young Barcelona talent will close a ten-year sponsorship agreement with the Beaverton brand in the next few days. Nike will pay Barça around 140 million euros per season, the negotiation is now at an advanced stage, but some final details still remain to be defined. The Blaugrana club had first thought about the Puma option, and then evaluated a possible sportswear brand branded directly by Joan Laporta (the president of Barça), but in the end Nike seems to have won the day. In the company’s coffers culé – we read – 150 million euros should come in immediately and, subsequently, 125 million per year.
Yamal’s numbers this season
The 17-year-old born in Esplugues de Llobregat, after having dragged the Spanish national team towards success in the last European Championship held in Germany, also made a great start in the Blaugrana ranks. He has already scored five goals and five assists in ten appearances this season under coach Flick. Numbers that allowed him to return to coach Luis de la Fuente’s list again.
