Former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has sparked speculation regarding a major boot sponsor switch after being spotted arriving at Al-Sadd holding a pair of Mizuno Alpha 3 boots.
Roberto Firmino to Join Mizuno
Firmino was pictured arriving in casual attire carrying the Mizuno Alpha 3 in the eye-catching 'Unity Sky' launch colorway.
Throughout his peak years in Europe with Hoffenheim and Liverpool, Firmino was an Adidas headline player, notably fronting the Nemeziz agility line before later sporting various Predator models.
From late 2024 until now, Firmino has stopped wearing Adidas boots and switched to Nike Mercurial models. This confirms that Adidas did not renew his contract.
Carrying a pair of Mizuno boots in his hand could be a sign that the forward and the Japanese brand are in talks, although it could also simply be a personal trial on his part.
Do you think Mizuno would be a suitable destination for Firmino?
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
Cerro Porteño 2026 Anniversary Kit Released
Paraguayan powerhouse Cerro Porteño and Puma have officially unveiled a special anniversary kit celebrating the club's 114th birthday. Founded on October 1, 1912, "El Ciclón" marks the milestone with a limited-edition design that also represents the end of an era, serving as Puma's final kit for the club ahead of a switch to Diadora in 2027.
The Puma Cerro Porteño 2026 anniversary jersey embraces a distinctive late-1990s retro aesthetic. It features a deep navy base complemented by a bold vertical red stripe running down the center, accented with white piping along the sleeves and side seams. A classic fold-over collar with white trim frames the neckline, while an enlarged retro CP monogram watermark is embossed across the lower torso. The jersey is completed by a traditional shield crest on the left chest and a clean, sponsor-free front.
Produced in strictly limited quantities, the collector's shirt is available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, bringing a stylish close to Puma's seven-year partnership with Cerro Porteño that began in 2020.
