After Whole Career With Nike: Carvajal Becomes Latest Player to Switch from Nike to Puma
Carvajal was spotted wearing the latest Puma Ultra Ultimate colorway in today's training session, just three days after wearing branded Nike Phantom GX boots during the EURO qualifying match against Norway. The move probably marks the end of Carvajal's long-term partnership with Nike, which began even before he turned professional.
The switch to Puma comes as the German sportswear brand continues to ramp up its efforts to compete with Nike and Adidas in the soccer market. Puma have been aggressively signing top athletes in the sport, while Nike have put more of their focus on the women's game.
