I recently spotted Romelu Lukaku wearing plain black boots during games and thought I would do some research as to why a player of his caliber has no boot sponsorship. Usually when a player wears plain-black boots, this is a sign they have no boot deal / sponsorship with any company.
Lukaku is looking to earn a small amount of £1.5m-a-year and believes he is totally worth this crazy amount of money. He feels the commercial landscape has changed for him since he made the summer move to one of the most famous and richest clubs in the world…Manchester United.
Currently, he has been in talks with leading makes like Nike, Adidas, and Puma over a long-term deal.
And the winner is ?? We will soon see…
