Bruno Guimaraes makes Newcastle United training ground announcement after Man City tease & Adidas deal
Bruno Guimaraes has shared new images of himself at Newcastle United’s training ground this week.
The Brazilian was pictured at Darsley Park wearing his new ‘turbo’ coloured Adidas F50 Elite boots. Eagle-eyed spectators may have noticed Guimaraes has been wearing the boots since Newcastle’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City last month but he has now taken to social media to announce the change.
The 26-year-old posted: “That new boot feeling😮💨 @adidasfootball #createdwithadidas.”
Guimaraes is one of several Adidas athletes in Newcastle’s squad. Joelinton, Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak and Lewis Miley all took part in Adidas’ promotional campaign for the new Adidas Predator 2024 boots earlier this year.
Guimaraes, Joelinton, Isak and Gordon all wore iconic 90s Newcastle Adidas shirts as part of the promotional campaign. Miley, who was just 17 at the time, was not included in that part of the promotion that featured the players sporting shirts with a Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor.
Since then, Newcastle have agreed a manufacturing deal with Adidas worth upwards of £30million per-season over an initial five-year period.
Since then, Guimaraes and his Newcastle team-mates and staff have been seen sporting the new Newcastle United x Adidas Originals clothing range which has proven popular among supporters.
Newcastle are currently Adidas’ seventh most merchandised club behind Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Ajax. The Magpies could rise above Ajax next season but Liverpool’s upcoming deal with the German sports manufacturer will likely see them remain seventh, even if they are able to agree an ‘elite’ package.
