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 He wore outdated Nike cleats until he recently switched to the Phantom GX 'Link' special edition.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.
What are your thoughts on Haaland officially signing with Nike? Comment below.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
