Sprint King

Usain Bolt has welcomed, with open arms, another massive name to the PUMA

family.

That name, BUZZ fam, is Neymar Jr, global footballer for Brazil and Paris St Germain. Bolt took to Twitter to welcome his fellow global star.

“Welcome

@neymarjr to the @PUMA family,” Bolt said.

The retired

sprinter also posted a pic of the former Barcelona player with a number of

goodies from PUMA.

Neymar will

showcase the PUMA King line of football boots and will model its other apparel

during their long-term agreement.

This deal

with PUMA comes after the football star ended a 15-year association with Nike. And

PUMA wasn’t quiet about it, announcing the news on their website alongside the

banner ‘The king is back’ and ‘Welcome to the family Neymar JR’.

Neymar also

seems excited about the deal and has made a statement.

“New

challenges, new responsibilities, I understand that. I wish to bring back the

legacy that those athletes created on the pitch. I was to help bring back

memories from each of their football histories and the magic they gave us in

their classic leather boots — and through boots like those, leave behind my

own legacy. They each played in PUMA, and each of them created their magic in

The KING,” he said.

“And so

now, as I begin this new season, I want the KING to reign on the pitch and

inspire generations as it has inspired me and others.”
