Kylian Mbappé could sign a totally unexpected contract in the coming months!

Kylian Mbappé should have a fairly eventful summer. There is the World Cup first, obviously. The Bondynois knows he is expected to turn the corner, especially after a fairly difficult season in Madrid, concluded without a title and with strong criticism from the media and supporters despite a title from Pichichi and top scorer in the Champions League. He will therefore have the opportunity to rebuild his career under the Blues tunic, knowing that he will have to make a big decision in the coming weeks.

It is not about his future in Madrid – a departure has already been ruled out by the local press – but about his equipment supplier. A file that has been talked about for a while, and which represents a major issue for Nike, the brand which currently sponsors the player. The French player’s contract with the American giant expires on July 31, and the former PSG’s intentions are still unclear. What seems certain is that he will not extend by the end of the contract, and that he will perhaps start next season without an equipment supplier.

A big surprise?

Daily life The Team takes stock of this issue and reveals that the possibility of signing a new contract with Nike later in the summer or fall is real, with probabilities estimated at 50% by the sources interviewed by the media. The North American textile ogre could also make the Frenchman the player with the juiciest equipment contract, with a contract of around 20 million euros per year. But where there could be a big surprise is that in the event that Mbappé does not return to Nike, he would not sign up with Adidas, or even Puma or Under Armor…

He could actually sign with a brand which is not yet present in the footballing sphere, whose name is not yet known, and which therefore wishes to conquer football and compete with the players already in place. This would be an innovative project, of which the number 10 merengue would be the spearhead, and which would obviously be very interesting from a financial point of view. It would be much more than a simple equipment contract, but a relationship aimed at developing a brand which starts from almost 0, like Michael Jordan who signed up with Nike when the latter did not yet have the status of a multinational.
