Haaland unleashes an intense battle between sponsors

Football clubs aren’t the only ones vying for Erling Haaland’s services. The same thing happens with sports brands, especially considering that the Norwegian star’s contract with the American giant Nike expired at the beginning of the year. Haaland himself recently took it upon himself to encourage the sponsorship war, uploading a photo to his social networks in which he is seen training with an Adidas shirt, something that is already being interpreted as a new nod to Real Madrid.

Numerous German media revealed that Puma was the brand that was on pole to dress the striker in the ranks of Borussia Dortmund. Apparently, the company would be willing to pay a total of 8 million euros per season to sign Haaland, which would be 7 kilos more than the footballer had been receiving from Nike. Along with Borussia, who want to convince him to continue in the Bundesliga by raising his salary to 16 million and who, in addition, wears Puma, the crack would charge 24 kilos if he decides to say yes to Dortmund and his sponsor.

Hence, the recent photo of the killer wearing an Adidas shirt has given rise to speculation, since the only one of his suitors who also wears the three stripes brand is Real Madrid. Guardiola’s City, which seems to have joined the bid for Haaland, and Dortmund are Puma teams. Barcelona, ​​for its part, is sponsored by Nike. Obviously, it is one more nuance when it comes to finding out Haaland’s future. It should be remembered that Messi, for many years the flagship of the Blaugrana and now of PSG (also Nike), was and still is an Adidas athlete.
