Naomi Osaka signs with Nike

Interesting stuff in Naomi Osaka’s camp.

The Japanese sensation renewed a deal with Adidas in September last year after she won the Us Open; after only 208 days, she has a new contract with Nike.

How much Nike paid Naomi Osaka?

The sum is still undisclosed, but it’s legit to think that they will pay more than what was dealt with Adidas that was rumored to be about $10million per season.

However, after this deal with Nike, it’s clear that Naomi remained still up for grab (or on auction).

 

I am proud of being part of Nike. NAOMI OSAKA

Naomi released the following statement

“I’m proud to become a member of the Nike family and excited about getting involved in all of the opportunities Nike has to offer. Nike has a legendary track record of writing history and I look forward to being a part of those moments for many years to come.”

The statement from Nike

Amy Montagne VP, GM of Global Categories, commented “As we continue to inspire millions of athletes to chase their crazy dreams, Naomi is an incredible talent to add to our roster and help drive our commitment to inspiring a new generation of female athletes. We are thrilled to have her join our team.”
