On their way to realizing of Erling Haaland’s mega transfer, Real Madrid could get an important ally, perhaps the most important – AdidasThe well-informed German newspaper Bild claims that the famous sports brand was the organizer of a secret meeting that took place on the first day of this week at the company’s headquarters in the German city of Herzogenaurach, where a lucrative sponsorship agreement was discussed. Haaland parted ways with Nike on January 1 after the contract expired and he has been a free agent in the world of sports brands ever since. In addition to Adidas, the most wanted young goal scorer is on the radar of Puma, the technical sponsor of Manchester City.Sun 17:30: (4.20) Union Berlin (3.60) Dortmund (1.95)Adidas brought Zinedine Zidane and Michu as two trump cards in the negotiations with Haaland. The legendary French footballer and former Real Madrid coach flew to Germany immediately to attend the meeting, and the two were even at lunch later, while the former Spanish national team player was a “joker” of Adidas executives because the Spaniard was Haaland’s idol. In this way, Adidas wanted to show the Borussia Dortmund striker how much the want him in their ranks. By the way, Haaland was accompanied at the meeting by his father Alf Inge, then his best friend Ivar Eggja and the lawyer in charge of this type of business – Rafael Pimento.BUILD | Zidane held a meeting last Monday with Haaland and his family in Germany to persuade him to agree to sign a sponsorship contract with Adidas,now there is a lot to be said for Haaland’s move to Real Madrid.Note: Adidas has a 12-year sponsorship contract with Real Madrid. pic.twitter.com/NNicXwrMYQ— Enock Essel Niccolò Makavelli (@KobinaEssar777) February 11, 2022 Why is Real Madrid hoping that Haaland will become the new face of Adidas? It is very simple – the German giant is the technical sponsor of Los Blancos, so the path to signing would be much easier. While Puma is with Manchester City, the remaining two competitors for Haaland’s signature, Barcelona and PSG, are wearing Nike and Jordan (which is part of the franchise of the American sports brand) which would automatically distance them from the transfer.Sat 18:15: (2.95) Villareal (3.25) Real Madrid (2.60)Well-informed Bild sources claim that Haaland returned to Dortmund the same evening by private jet, and that he brought with him the most positive impressions. Adidas presented a detailed plan to Haaland to make it one of the most important promoters, all with the aim of spreading across the Norwegian and Scandinavian markets. Zidane’s and Michu’s presence served as a “wow effect” that could seal the deal.
