The Adidas press service has denied the recent rumors suggesting that the sportswear company was ready to pay half of Lionel Messi’s transfer amount to Bayern Munich. The press service clarified that Adidas’ relationship with players is purely an advertising partnership, and any sporting decisions are made solely by the player and their advisors. Esteve Calzada, former marketing director of FC Barcelona, also commented that Messi’s association with Barcelona benefits Adidas, and he sees no sense in such an operation. While rumors persist about Messi’s future, Adidas denies any involvement in his potential transfer.
