According to a rumor, Real Madrid player Vinicius Junior and Nike are almost done reaching an agreement on a new sponsorship agreement.
.The winger and the international sports brand have been negotiating over an improved contract for a number of months, according to ESPN. The winger is represented by Fred Pena, chief executive of the subsidiary of Roc Nation Sports Brazil.
He is anticipated to become one of the primary faces of the North American brand once the agreement is finalized, which might happen by the end of the month. Discussions regarding the new agreement focus more on marketing and advancing the growth of the Brazil international than they do on money.

The new agreement will put a stop to the controversy that arose between Vinicius and Nike in February of this year after he showed up to a Madrid game wearing all-black footwear. He reportedly refused to wear his typical bright Nike boots because he felt they didn’t represent his rising position and expressed his ire over the company’s contract.The 23-year-old has been sponsored by Nike since he was 13 years old, and he recently inked a new deal that will keep him at Madrid through 2027. His current contract expires in2028, but since joining Real Madrid, he has won two La Liga titles and the Champions League, making him one of football’s most well-known faces. He has also emerged as a star for the Brazil national team.
