Liverpool are reportedly on course to announce that adidas will be their new kit supplier from 2025.

The Reds' strips have been produced by sporting giants Nike since 2020, with New Balance supplying them for five years prior.

However, Liverpool look set to make another change in the coming years and return to one of their former suppliers.

Sport Business report that they will announce their new kit deal with adidas, which will commence from the 2025/26 campaign.

It's one that will run for five seasons and sees them collaborate for the first time since their six-year deal that ended in 2012.

Current kit producers Nike, as well as rivals Puma, were also said to be keen on securing a deal with the club but it's adidas who will take over.

Nike are understood to currently pay Liverpool a base fee of £30million, but this is said to rise to over £50million-a-year due to royalty payments from replica sportswear net sales.

The Reds' new deal with adidas is reported to be higher than this figure but won't reach the amount rivals Manchester United receive.

adidas are said to pay United £90million a year, which is the highest amount paid to any team in the Premier League.

Liverpool's return to working with the German athletic brand could come as a lucky omen to the club in their quest for success.

The Premier League giants won three league titles, three FA Cups and the League Cup during their first spell together from 1985 to 1996.

adidas came back in 2006 and stayed for six years, although just the one League Cup was won during that time.
