Haaland has been wearing Nike boots for this whole career but he was without a boot contract for a while. He wore outdated Nike cleats until he recently switched to the Phantom GX 'Link' special edition.
No financial details about the Nike x Haaland deal were announced (of course), but an earlier report from The Athletic suggested that Haaland's camp were looking for a deal worth £20 million ($24 million) per year.
Nike's official statement lists Haaland in alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Alexia Putellas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ada Hegerberg, Marcus Rashford, Leah Williamson and his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.
While there are no leaks or any official info yet, it's likely that Haaland will receive a signature edition of some sort, just like Mbappé. It would only be fitting for a player who has broken many goal-scoring records at just 22 years of age.
