Chelsea pay Umbro £24M to clear way for record shirt deal
tribalfootball.com - January 20, 2005
Chelsea have paid out £24 million to end their shirt sponsorship deal with Umbro.
The Evening Standard says Umbro released a statement to the Stock Exchange this morning saying the deal had been terminated by "mutual agreement".
Stamford Bridge chief executive Peter Kenyon is in the process of securing a lucrative new sponsorship deal to fit the club's higher global profile.
Adidas are believed to be the sportswear giants set to seal an agreement with Chelsea which will be one of the biggest shirt contracts in world football.
Manchester United currently have comfortably the biggest kit deal in British football. Kenyon, then at United, agreed a £300m 15-year contract with Nike in 2000 after also dispensing with the services of Umbro.
