Kylian Mbappé thanks Nike after signing 10-year deal with On | OneFootball

France captain and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has joined Swiss sportswear brand On on a 10-year deal as its new ambassador, then thanked long-time partner Nike in an Instagram message on Saturday. The partnership was announced on Friday.

At the end of his Nike contract, he chose to move to On. The player said in a post that Nike had been part of his life since childhood, noting he was seven when it began and is now 27.

His message recalled support at every step, from a boy in Bondy to France duty and the World Cup.

It spoke of signature boots that told his story, dreams and roots, and pride at seeing them worn by millions of children in whom he often recognised himself.

The switch marks a new chapter with On, a fast-growing brand that counts Roger Federer among its shareholders. Mbappé will also become a shareholder and help develop football boots and apparel.
