The rumours were confirmed today, Murray signs with Under Armour after leaving Adidas after 5 years.
His base contract of £15m over 4 years matches the 5 year Adidas contract, but it appears is highly linked to performance so that could mean taking a pay cut if performance dips. He is also taking some pay through shares in the company.
The most interesting thing of all is the shoes - he is not doing a Djokovic and keeping Barricades, UA are designing a brand new pair of shoes for him which won't be unveiled till later in the year. Knowing Murray has worn highly custom Barricades, this is a huge and complex move for both parties .
I'd recommend reading the full article - (also a bit in there about Adidas's lack of apetite to sign Murray again and Adidas 'skipping a generation')
