Man United Sign Record-breaking £900m Deal With Adidas
Manchester United have agreed a 10-year extension to their partnership with Adidas — reportedly worth £900 million.
United announced the mouth-watering deal with the German kit-making company in a statement on its website on Monday.
The new partnership — which runs until June 2035 — is an extension of their previous 10-year deal worth £750 million.
“Adidas and Manchester United Football Club are delighted to announce the extension of one of the most exciting, seminal partnerships in world sport,” the statement reads.
“It is very natural for us to continue our cooperation,” Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden said.
“We will combine tradition and innovation to please both the players and the fans.
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with one of the most iconic clubs in football.”
The kit deal is thought to be the largest in Premier League history — based on revenue per season — surpassing Chelsea’s 15-year deal of the same amount and signed in 2016.
