Manchester City’s exceptional footballer Erling Haaland has signed a sponsorship deal with Nike, which is the second-most lucrative in world football, according to The Athletic website. The partnership signed with the Norwegian is expected to bring the player around $24.9 million a year. The contract has a term of 10 years. “The new era of the number 9,” wrote Haaland in the announcement of the partnership. Brazil’s superstar Neymar is the holder of the largest sponsorship in world football and receives around 28 million US dollars a year from Puma. Rafaela Pimenta, Brazilian and Haaland’s manager, was satisfied with the partnership.
“Incredible to see Erling Haaland and Nike come to life. Aside from being one of the biggest sponsorships in the history of sport, Haaland and Nike represent an attitude that breaks down barriers and inspires us to do our best. Congratulations to Erling! I’m so proud of you,” Rafaela said. With the sponsorship, Nike intends to strengthen Haaland’s image as a reference player in the number 9 jersey. In his first season with the Cityzens, the 22-year-old has played 37 games and scored 42 goals.
