Nike has parted ways with Brazilian star forward Neymar a decade and a half after signing the star striker as a 13-year-old prodigy.
“I can confirm Neymar is no longer a Nike athlete,” a Nike spokesman, Josh Benedek, said in an e-mail to AFP without giving details.
Media reports said the 28-year-old Paris Saint-Germain was in talks with Puma. Puma declined to comment.
Brazilian news site UOL said Neymar and Nike had failed to reach a deal on how much money he would be paid for renewing his contract.
