If the boot fits

The bidding war appears to over as Paul Pogba has reportedly rejected a 10-year deal from Nike to sign for its main rivals.

Juventus superstar midfielder is set to sign a new deal with Adidas to become the face of the company’s new laceless ACE 16 PureControl boots, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The same boots worn by Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil and Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic.

The 22-year-old is set to land a massive £31million (€40m approx) pay day by signing a 10-year deal with Adidas, who won the war for his signature against rivals Nike.

Although Pogba has so far stayed without a boot sponsorship in recent years, but Nike would have been hopeful of snapping him up considering that he has mostly worn Nike boots on the pitch, including custom-made ones which he himself designed with the company.
