Chelsea dump Adidas for Nike and £900M

Chelsea have confirmed a new kit deal with Nike which is reportedly worth a meagre £900m over the next 15 years. The agreement, which is understood to be worth £60m a season, will run until 2032 and is the largest commercial deal in the Premier League club’s history.

Confirmation of the new partnership follows on from months of speculation after Chelsea announced that it would be cutting short its current contract with Adidas six years early. The 10-year partnership with the Adidas was reportedly worth £60m a season and will cost Chelsea £40m to terminate. Bargain.
