BIG CHANGE FOR NOVAK: First time he said no, and after five years the contract awaits for him that every athlete wants!
Will American giant sign Serbian tennis player from the second attempt?
The end of tennis 2016, and the contract signed by Novak Djokovic with "Uniklo" manufacturer of sports equipment is coming to an end.
Five years ago, Serbian and Japanese company concluded an agreement which will formally end in next summer. That is why the greatest brand is lurking around the corner - "Nike".
American company is determined to sign the contract with the best Serbian player, and to have one of the best tennis players of all times in their strategy.
This is not new, "Nike" wanted to sign Novak five years ago, and to have in their team with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. However, "Uniklo" stepped in, offering Djokovic six million dollars, which seemed impracticable for "Nike" compared to Federer and Nadal at the moment.
In any case, "Nike" showed interest again to sign Novak, Spanish portal "Marketing Deportivo" reports.
And now, they have even more reason for it, considering where the careers of Federer and Nadal are going. And "Nike" always needs the best, especially in tennis because they want to remain dominant.
It is still unknown how much money American company prepared for Djokovic.
Before "Unikla", Djokovic wore the equipment of "Sergio Tacchini" and "Adidas".
