After the "Clash of Courts" .. Liverpool replaces his shirt with a fictional contract
Liverpool club decided to sign with "Nike", after the end of the "Reds" contract with the American company "New Balance", next May.
Liverpool had entered into a "judicial battle" with New Balance at the end of last year, as the American company demanded the court in its interest to have the right to extend its contract with Liverpool, thanks to a clause in the contract requiring Liverpool to extend his contract with the company, in the event of making a similar offer to the offer of any competing company .
But the British court ruled in favor of Liverpool in the case, and gave him the "green light" to sign any other sports company, which is what happened now with Nike.
English newspapers have predicted that Liverpool's contract with Nike will be the largest in the history of English football, which means that it may exceed the Manchester United contract with Adidas, which amounts to 88 million euros annually for the "Red Devils."
Liverpool's contract with New Balance reached 53 million euros annually, but the new contract will increase significantly due to the great victories achieved by the "Reds" in recent years, which have raised the team's market value significantly.
Liverpool stars will wear Nike's new team shirts, starting next season, for 5 years with New Balance.
Nike is currently sponsoring 3 clubs in the Premier League, Chelsea, Tottenham and Brighton, and had lost its contract with Manchester City early in the season, after the signing of "The Citizens" with the German company Puma.
