According to reports, Adidas wants to be a shirt supplier for at least two of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool from 2025.
Footy Headlines reported that insiders have informed them that Adidas wants to provide jerseys for two of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool from 2025 onwards, with all three if possible.
Arsenal's current contract with Adidas expires in 2024, so they are close to renewing their contracts or looking for new suppliers. United's contract with Adi expires in 2025, but Liverpool currently has a contract with Nike that expires in 2025.
With Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Signing Long Contracts with their respective sponsors, Adidas' main way to become the Premier League's top shirt supplier is through the big 6's three members in red jerseys.
If Adidas wants to finalize at least two of the three teams after 2025, and Arsenal are the first to expire their contracts, it is conceivable that they will do everything they can to go and sign up for the gun.
If Arsenal are lost, they will have to put all their eggs in two other baskets.
From a fan's point of view, Adi's contract extension with Arsenal should be a welcome decision.
Shirts from recent seasons have proven to be recognized by fans, and the jerseys of the new season look similar in this regard.
Arsenal have confirmed their initial plans for pre-season and will travel to the U.S. for a few games in July.
For the second consecutive year, Arsenal will face Chelsea in pre-season and the club have confirmed the first two fixtures of their summer trip.
They will play the Florida Cup against Chelsea at the Discovery Stadium (Home of Orlando City) on Wednesday, July 20, followed by a Florida Cup match against Chelsea at Camping World Stadium on Saturday, July 23.
The Gunners also confirmed they were prepared to announce details of another match in the U.S., which would be played ahead of the two games above. Previously, it was reported that Everton were a possible third opponent.
Charles Watts reported that the Gunners will also play a match in Europe, possibly in Germany, as well as a one-day Emirates Cup.
Arsenal planned to travel to the U.S. to play inter and Everton/Millionaire last summer, but were forced to postpone it due to a positive COVID-19 test in the squad. Fans hope this year's trip to the United States will be a success.
