According to Sport, the partnership between Messi and Adidas may see some of its final significant chapters in 2027. Meanwhile, the German brand is already preparing its next steps. Per exclusive information from Footy Headlines, Adidas plans to feature the Argentine superstar alongside Yamal next year, symbolizing a generational handover in football.

According to the website specializing in jerseys and sports equipment, this arrangement will be highly commercial, signifying Messi gradually passing on his representative status within Adidas to Yamal. The Barcelona forward is set to take over the central position the Argentine has held for years as Messi approaches the end of his career.

Footy Headlines notes that 2027 will be particularly important for Adidas's strategy. The website states that if Messi's career and retirement timeline progress as expected, that year could mark the last for Adidas to launch personalized signature boots for him.

The Argentine is in the final chapter of his career, having already retired from international football with the national team after leading Argentina to victory in the last World Cup. His club future remains uncertain, though his contract with Inter Miami extends until December 2028.

The Yamal Era

Yamal's development has made the Barcelona forward one of the most watched players in world football, with a strong chance of becoming the next Ballon d'Or winner. This status also makes him a significant commercial asset for Adidas and other major brands, as demonstrated during the World Cup in the United States.

The La Masia product already has several special editions of Adidas F50s. As his prominence in "three-stripe" advertising grows, this German brand's speed boot has become a symbol for a new generation.

Following this line of thought, Footy Headlines reports that Adidas is preparing to arrange for Messi and Yamal to appear together. The aim is to use their joint appearance to symbolize a player who defined an era passing the baton to the leading figure of the brand's new phase.

If the plan revealed by Footy Headlines comes to fruition, 2027 could give us one of the most iconic images off the football pitch. Everyone still vividly remembers that news photo of Messi and Yamal embracing after the final whistle in New Jersey following the last World Cup, where Spain earned their second star.
