After a long drawn out tussle between Liverpool and New Balance, the dust was finally settled in court. The ruling came in club’s favour. This gave them the green signal to enter into a lucrative five year contract from the 20-21 season with Nike.
Switch to Nike a good move for Liverpool ?
The contract is expected to be worth between about £80 million per year. The existing deal with New Balance was worth around £40 million a year.
Fans are hyped about this move. As along with the additional revenue, it’s also expected to bring more prestige. Nike is the most valuable brand in the Sports business. While Liverpool are arguably the current best club in the world. Their partnership makes sense both commercial and sporting wise.
