However, if it's just these terms, it certainly won't impress Mendes.
Sports brands, being one of the most important and largest sponsors for players, must be chosen carefully, especially with a contract term of 5 years.
Once a player endorses a brand, they can't endorse or interact with other sports brands, or they will face hefty non-compete penalty fines.
Even if they wear other brand's sneakers in their daily life or casual clothing from other brands... it can be magnified by the media, creating all sorts of rumors.
"Bonus stacking."
Mendes, looking invigorated, explained to Ma'el while climbing the stairs: "Puma has set up a bonus stacking clause based on the league you're currently in.
"For example, this year, being your first year as their ambassador, aside from the £850,000 endorsement fee, you also received a £1,150,000 bonus.
"So starting next year, your base endorsement fee will rise to £2 million, and it can continue to stack next year."
