Trent Alexander-Arnold Signs Lucrative Boot Deal with Adidas
Liverpool FC’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has recently signed a new long-term boot deal with Adidas, solidifying his position as one of the highest-earning athletes in the sport. This partnership marks the end of his association with Under Armour and the beginning of a new chapter with one of the world’s leading sports brands.
Embracing the Predator Boots
Alexander-Arnold will now be sporting the iconic Predator boots, a model that he wore during his formative years as a budding professional. This choice not only reflects his personal connection to the brand but also showcases his commitment to performance and style.
According to The Athletic, this deal will make Alexander-Arnold one of Europe’s highest-paid players by a manufacturer. He made an impressive debut as an Adidas athlete by scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Manchester City while wearing the Predators.
Following in the Footsteps of Jude Bellingham
Alexander-Arnold joins fellow England international Jude Bellingham in promoting these renowned boots. Bellingham, who plays in midfield for Real Madrid, has also chosen to endorse the Predator line.
In a promotional video shared on his Twitter account, Alexander-Arnold reminisces about his childhood experiences wearing Adidas boots and recalls the inspiring 2005 Champions League final that fueled his passion for professional football. The emotional video concludes with a simple message: “I guess I always knew I’d be back someday.”
A New Era for Alexander-Arnold
Since 2017, Alexander-Arnold has been exclusively sponsored by Under Armour. However, this new partnership with Adidas marks a significant milestone in his professional career. At just 25 years old, he has already made 288 appearances for Liverpool FC and was appointed as Virgil van Dijk’s understudy in the squad’s leadership group by manager Jurgen Klopp during the summer.
While his goal against Manchester City was his first of the 2023/24 season, Alexander-Arnold has proven to be a versatile and influential player since being deployed in a hybrid position across right-back and midfield. As Liverpool FC sets its sights on the title this season, Alexander-Arnold will undoubtedly continue to make a significant impact on the team’s success.
