France captain KYLIAN MBAPPE has joined Swiss sportswear company, On, bringing to an end his long-running association with Nike, which began early in his career.
The sportswear brand and MBAPPE confirmed the signing today.
The sportswear firm said it will unveil its first football boots next year, while MBAPPE said the partnership would allow them to create something new and advance innovation in the game.
On, founded in 2010 initially concentrated on running and tennis footwear and has tennis legend ROGER FEDERER among its shareholders.
MBAPPE’s move represents a major change for Nike, which had partnered with the Real Madrid forward since 2006 and established him as one of the prominent figures in its football business.
