Michael Olise closing in on first major boot sponsorship deal

Nike are nearing an agreement with Michael Olise that would see the Bayern Munich star sign his first-ever boot sponsorship deal, according to L'Équipe.

Interestingly, Olise has been wearing Nike boots for the past few years without receiving any payment, simply because he likes one of the brand's models.

Having lost Kylian Mbappé, Nike are now looking to invest in a new superstar and are reportedly leading the race for Olise, ahead of Adidas and On.

Those close to Olise say he is regularly approached by brands across various industries, but stress that he prefers to focus on football and would only consider a partnership if he felt it was the perfect fit for him.
