Mbappé breaks with Nike to join On, contract until 2036
After twenty years of collaboration with Nike, French striker Kylian Mbappé announced his departure for the Swiss equipment maker On, signing a contract that ties him to the club until 2036. The player, Real Madrid’s number 10, said he wants a new challenge in an interview with CNN.
An expanded partnership with On
In addition to the sponsorship deal, Mbappé receives a dual role as ambassador and shareholder within the brand, which was founded in 2010 and already counts partners such as Roger Federer and Zendaya. On’s revenue has exceeded three billion dollars, according to the information provided.
"It's a new chapter, a new challenge, a new opportunity," explained the 27‑year‑old Merengue, emphasizing his desire for change. He added that this decision coincides with a period in his life where he wants to develop both as a player and as a person.
