The multinational sports brand and the winger have reportedly been in talks about a better contract for a few months, according to ESPN. Fred Pena, CEO of Roc Nation Sports Brazil, is the player’s agent.
When the deal is signed, which might happen by the end of the month, he is expected to become one of the main faces of the North American brand. The new arrangement is being discussed primarily for marketing purposes and to further the growth of Brazil International, rather than for financial reasons.
