Eduardo Camavinga to Leave Nike for Adidas?
- Camavinga Tests Adidas Boots: Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, a long-time Nike athlete, has been spotted training in Adidas Predator boots, hinting at a potential brand switch.
- Sign of Expired Nike Deal: Wearing a rival brand's in-line product strongly suggests that Camavinga's existing contract with Nike has either expired or is nearing its conclusion.
- Club Alignment Potential: A permanent switch to Adidas for Camavinga would align him directly with Real Madrid's long-term kit partnership with the brand.
Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga could be on the verge of a major boot switch after being spotted wearing Adidas Predator boots. The French international, who has long been a headline athlete for Nike's Phantom line, took part in training wearing the iconic fold-over tongue Predator model rather than his usual Swoosh footwear.
Camavinga Trains in Adidas Predator Boots
Camavinga was first spotted lacing up the Predator boots in late October, with Spanish journalist Marcos Benito highlighting the change and suggesting that the midfielder's chapter with Nike may have come to an end. While athletes frequently test blackout prototypes when negotiating contracts or surveying the market, stepping onto the pitch in a branded, in-line rival control silo strongly signals that his existing Nike deal has expired or is nearing its conclusion.
Camavinga has alternated between the Adidas Predators and his familiar Nike Phantoms, which he still wears for matches. With Real Madrid tied to a long-term kit partnership with Adidas, a permanent switch would align the midfielder directly with his club's manufacturer.
While neither brand has officially confirmed a deal, all eyes will be on what Camavinga wears in upcoming competitive fixtures.
