Real Madrid achieved three vital points against Valencia to continue on the lookout for Barcelona in LaLiga Santander with Vinícius Júnior as the protagonist. With a target and a caused expulsion, the Brazilian was the main architect of the white victory in his 200th meeting and in which he ended up confirming what was an open secret: his break in agreement with Nike.
As confirmed by AS, the ’20’ from the white club has been feeling undervalued by the American brand for some time and, despite having a contract until 2028, the 22-year-old attacker has decided to end the advertising agreement that began back in 2013 when Vinícius was barely a cadet.
In those, Vinícius left a significant gesture in the clash against Valencia that demonstrates his disagreement with Nike. The Brazilian stepped onto the pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu and He played the first part with completely black boots, without any trace of any commercial brand. Already in the second period, the ’20′ decided to change his boots again and appeared on the white fiefdom with some yellow and white from which the sports brand was not distinguishable.
So, the relationship between Vinícius and Nike has come to an end. Already in the World Cup in Qatar, the ’20′ played the World Cup event with Mercurial boots that belonged to an old model from the collection. And today, it has been the definitive confirmation. For his part, the Puma brand has already designed a strategy plan to count on the Brazilian and is the best positioned to take over the services of the 22-year-old attacker.
In that decision, it would be important figure of Neymar Jr. Vinícius’ teammate signed a contract with Puma astronomical contract at the end of September 2020 and presents itself as the main German asset to finish convincing the Real Madrid striker.
