David Beckham, adidas top sponsored soccer athlete, is jumping across the Atlantic to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy MLS team. The deal that brought Beckham to the U.S. is reportedly worth over $250 million in salary, sponsorships, and endorsements plus a percentage of the clubs profits. It has been called the largest single athlete deal in sports history.
With Beckham coming to the U.S., adidas will immediately have a much larger presence on the pitch, with predictions of sold-out Galaxy games coming from nearly every corner of the U.S. soccer market.
>>> We need to wonder how much say adidas had in this move after Nike made their play on the German National Team
>>> The next question is when will Nike bring Ronaldinho over?
