Chelseas is a 10 year deal, signed last year with adidas worth £300 million. Madrid and Barca are in the middle of 8 and 10 year deals, both getting around £30 million a year also. It will be interesting to see if any other clubs get close to a deal worth as much as Uniteds. It seems strange that they managed to get a deal worth more than double any other club has, its worth nearly as much as the club was sold for not all that long ago!
