Manchester United sponsorship news

Adidas pays $1.3 billion in Manchester United deal

http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/14/news/companies/adidas-nike-manchester-united/index.html?

Hot on the heels of World Cup success, Adidas has landed one of the most prized sponsorships in sports: Manchester United will wear its logo for the next 10 years.

The German sports apparel company has agreed to pay the English soccer club at least £750 million ($1.3 billion) over the period of the contract, more than double the value of its existing deal with Nike (NKE).

World Cup winner Germany, and runner-up Argentina, both wore Adidas (ADDDF) in Sunday's final in Rio de Janeiro.

Adidas also sponsored the three players who took top honors for individual performances during the tournament in Brazil.

Nike is the world's largest sports apparel company by revenue, but lags behind Adidas when it comes to soccer. Both companies are hoping record TV audiences for the World Cup will boost their business in this area.

Under the deal with Manchester United (MANU), Adidas will provide uniforms for all the club's teams from the 2015 - 2016 season. Adidas will also be the exclusive worldwide distributor of Manchester United branded merchandise.

"We expect total sales to reach £1.5 billion during the duration of our partnership," said Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer.

Nike's 13-year contract with the club will end with the close of the 2014 - 2015 season.

Adidas signed up despite a sharp deterioration in Manchester United's performance since legendary coach Alex Ferguson retired a year ago.

Under Ferguson, the team had won the richest national soccer league for 13 of the last 21 years, and used the steady flow of broadcast and matchday revenue to invest in players and build a global commercial brand.

The team ended the 2013 - 2014 season without success in domestic league and cup competitions, and it also failed to qualify for Europe's top competition -- the Champion's League -- meaning the loss of some $50 million in related broadcast revenue and prime time TV exposure.

Still, the club's fortunes off the field have continued to improve. In the three months ending in March 2014, Manchester United reported record revenues and operating profit. Broadcast revenue was up 64% and commercial revenue rose by 19%.

Nike's deal was worth a minimum of £303 million -- or £23 million a year -- to Manchester United, but over the last three years had paid out more than £34 million on average thanks to profit sharing on merchandise.

The new contract with Adidas could be worth more than the club makes from the English Premier League (£64 million in 2013), making it the single biggest source of revenue.

Unfortunately, Conte leaving probably means Vidal is going to United. Shame, what a waste of talent.

Lazar Markovic has joined Liverpool for £20m

Liverpool have completed a £20 million deal following complex discussions with Benfica during which the thorny issue of third party ownership needed to be negotiated and overcome.

Benfica only partly owned Markovic when they signed him from Partizan Belgrade last summer. He was half-owned by a players’ investment fund connected to the superagent Pini Zahavi

Mashdi Congrats! Vidal is yours! I'm disgusted and Conte is the man like Deschamp! One of the worst decision by the club since I can remember. Fraborz don't worry Morata is not coming here no more! Congrats to Shwashank for next year scudetto! Juventus is getting Allegri and we are officially fucked!
I smelt this coming over Pogba and Vidal and when Prandelli left, it really raised my eyebrow!
Thank you Conte! He is the real boss and main reason Juve won three scudetto not because of Stadium or ect...
The General is gone....... One of my saddest football days has begun!!!!!!
