The sum reportedly paid by Nike to lure the German football team away from its partnership with Adidas is "inexplicable", the CEO of the German sportswear giant Bjorn Gulden tells AFP in an interview. The US giant will reportedly pay around 100 million euros ($106.5 million) a year in the deal that runs from 2027 through 2034. "If the numbers are right for what Nike paid the DFB, they are inexplicable for us" on the back of Adidas's own calculations, the Norwegian CEO says. SOUNDBITE
