Sport-locker.net can reveal that adidas yesterday launched a new campaign in Madrid together with Mesut Özil in order to welcome the football player to the adidas family.

The campaign entitled “Welcoming Mesut to the family” shows the Real Madrid star in a commercial with fellow adidas ambassadors such as Bastian Schweinsteiger, Kaka, Philipp Lahm, Manuel Neuer, Zinedine Zidane, Thomas Müller and Marcelo.

Mesut Özil said: “I am proud to be part of the adidas family and I immediately felt at ease in my talks with adidas managers. adidas is the number one brand and has a unique history in football. I already wear adidas jerseys when playing for the German national team and for Real Madrid – so this partnership really cements our relationship.”

Mesut Özil is not only one of the most gifted football players in the world, it also appears he is also a record holder when it comes to social media. He is the only German to have exceeded the 10 million mark on Facebook, with 10.8 million fans. He also has 2.8 million followers on Twitter!

The midfielder will also bring his experience and knowledge to the development of football boots at adidas. In keeping with his style of play, Özil wears the latest model of the Predator football boot, giving him perfect ball control in every situation.
