Vinicius Jr.’s anger at Nike is enormous. It all started almost a month ago, when the North American company made an ad in order to promote the World Cup in Qatar. Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Van Dijk… and not a trace of the Real Madrid player
He tried to ignore it, but it was already a cheap shot. The big surprise came when, in the middle of the World Cup, he did not get a new “Mercurial” shoe worn by Kylian Mbappe and other soccer players
They make Vinicius play the biggest competition on the planet with old Nike. He felt undervalued and asked his lawyer to find a formula to terminate his contract
All this while it is being reported in Brazil that Nike will land a huge contract for fellow countryman Indrik. Palmeiras, who is only 16 years old, is promised to be on Real Madrid’s agenda
He has an excellent relationship with him, but he’s annoyed that Nike isn’t putting him where he deserves. It is already looking for a new company to ally itself with except for a 180 degree turnaround from the American company
