Chelsea have confirmed they have signed a kit deal with Nike, which is believed to be worth an estimated £60m a season for the next 15 years. At around £60m a season, that means Chelsea will receive £900m from Nike over the next 15 years. “Like Chelsea, Nike is known around the world for its excellence and innovation and we look forward to working together in what is sure to be a successful partnership. We are excited to help grow the club’s global reach, serving players and supporters with Nike innovation and design.”The agreement with Nike dwarfs Chelsea’s previous deal with Adidas, which was worth £30m a season. Chelsea’s deal is believed to have been negotiated directly with Granovskaia, who is the owner Roman Abramovich’s closest adviser.
