Yuvraj set to ink deal with Globosport

New Delhi: His contract with Percept Talent Management Agency expiring on Tuesday, Indian cricket’s hot property Yuvraj Singh is all set to ink a brand new deal with Globosport, the sports marketing agency run by tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi.

Yuvraj, the vice-captain of the Indian ODI and Twenty20 squads, has just won his courtroom battle with Percept and the Bombay High Court has just allowed him to be free to join any company once his current contract expires.

Globosport vice-president Anirban Das Blah, however, refused to disclose anything about the deal and said he had no specific announcement to make before Yuvraj’s current contract expired.

Blah admitted Globosport’s interest in the dashing youngster and said, “Well, we believe he is going to be as big a brand as Sachin Tendulkar.”

Though Globosport has been coy about the minimum guaranteed sum it would offer to the cricketer, Bhupathi has hailed him as a potential threat to Tendulkar’s unmatched brand image and pegged the left-hander’s value over the next 10 years in the range of Rs. 200 crore. — PTI
