"So what do you think, Luke?" Javi asked as he sat down on the side of the bed in the room.
"We should sign it," Lukas responded, his expression deadpan.
"You think?" Marco asked.
"You don't like the terms?" Lukas asked Marco, as he and Javi turned to face the agent's direction.
"I just think if Nike and Adidas get a whiff of this contract, they could match or increase the amount Puma offered.
Also, no hate to Puma, but it's undeniable that they're currently in third place in the sportswear space compared to Nike and Adidas with far greater reach and recognition."
"Then imagine how valuable I'll be to them if I become their single biggest star?
If I sign for Nike or Adidas, sure I'll probably be able to get more money from royalties because of the brand loyalty they have and their dominance over the decades, but I'll still only be one of many superstars.
With Puma, I could be the front face of the brand."
