DONE DEAL Premier League clubs are raking in record £600m from kit deals this season – where does your club rank?
PREMIER League clubs are raking in a record £600million from kit deals this season.
The 20 top-flight clubs negotiated an additional £65million from shirt producers on top of last season's deals.
Most of the total — £563million — is going to the ten biggest clubs.
Manchester City and Liverpool will both get £100million from their tie-ups with Puma and Adidas respectively.
They have overtaken Manchester United after the Red Devils finished 15th last year and failed to get a trophy.
The kit deals are separate from the huge amounts paid by sponsors, who can now pay extra to have their logos on sleeves as well as their names emblazoned on the front of the shirt.
The most popular maker is the German sportswear giant adidas, which has kit deals with eight Premier League clubs.
As well as Liverpool and United, they supply Arsenal, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Fulham and newly-promoted Leeds United.
The Leeds deal is worth £5million a year while fellow Premier League new boys Burnley have a £1million agreement with Castore.
Sunderland, who won promotion through the play-offs, get the least, with a £500,000 deal with Hummel.
Liverpool signed a five-year contract with adidas after switching from Nike.
Adidas will give the Reds a flat fee of £30million per season, plus royalties of 20 per cent on all net sales of club merchandise.

Experts say this will lift their kit earnings to an estimated £100million.
Meanwhile Aston Villa announced their first ever deal with adidas last year as Unai Emery's team secured Champions League football.
They ended their deal with Castore prematurely after complaints from players that the fabric 'soaked up too much sweat'.

Boss of huge car firm warns brands are ‘heading full speed into a wall' and could ‘collapse' over EVs
He also warned of a 'reality check' and a petrol rush that 'doesn't help the climate at all.' CHARGED UP Boss of huge car firm warns brands are 'heading full speed into a wall' and could 'collapse' over EVs EUROPE'S car industry is 'heading at full speed against a wall', the boss of a huge car firm has warned. In a stark intervention, Mercedes-Benz boss Ola Källenius said the industry risks collapsing if the EU doesn't rethink its ban on new petrol and diesel cars Advertisement 3 Mercedes-Benz boss Ola Källenius says a 'reality check' is needed before the 2035 ban on combustion-engine sales is locked in Credit: AFP 3 Europe's car industry is 'heading at full speed against a wall' and risks collapsing if EU doesn't rethink ban on petrol and diesel cars, says boss Credit: AFP 3 Electric cars remain far from dominating the market, with EVs making up just 17.5 per cent of sales across the EU in the first half of this year Credit: EPA He also said a 'reality check' was needed before the 2035 ban on combustion-engine sales is locked in. Mr Källenius told German business paper Handelsblatt: "We need a reality check. Otherwise, we are heading at full speed against a wall. "Of course, we have to decarbonise, but it has to be done in a technology-neutral way. We must not lose sight of our economy." The luxury brand — once gung-ho about going fully electric in Europe — has already dropped its ambitious 2021 pledge to stop selling combustion cars 'where market conditions allow' by the decade's end. Advertisement Källenius, who also heads the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), now warns the EU's policy could trigger a last-minute rush for petrol and diesel cars before the cut-off, which 'doesn't help the climate at all.' Electric cars remain far from dominating the market. In the first half of this year, EVs made up just 17.5 per cent of sales across the EU, UK, and EFTA countries, while plug-in hybrids took 8.7 per cent. Traditional hybrids accounted for 35 per cent, but that figure includes mild-hybrids, which critics say aren't 'true' hybrids. Advertisement Mercedes' own figures show EV sales slipping — just 8.4 per cent of its global deliveries in the first six months of 2025, down from 9.7 per cent last year. Even with plug-ins included, electrified models made up just 20.1 per cent of shipments. Tesla's Cybertruck Graveyard: Hundreds of Unsold EVs Abandoned at Shopping Mall The EU's 2035 ban is due for review in the coming months, but Brussels has so far signalled no U-turn, reiterating in March its commitment to zero-emission new cars by the mid-2030s. It comes as the boss of Stellantis — the giant behind 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, and Maserati — warned that unreachable EU CO2 targets could force plant closures. Advertisement Europe chief Jean-Philippe Imparato said the Franco-Italian group faces fines of up to €2.5 billion within 'two-three years' if it fails to meet emissions rules. Without a regulatory rethink by year-end, 'we will have to make tough decisions,' he told a conference in Rome. 'I have two solutions: either I push like hell (on electric)… or I close down ICE (internal combustion engine vehicles). And therefore I close down factories,' he said, pointing to the risk for sites such as Stellantis' van plant in Atessa, Italy. Advertisement The warning comes amid fresh turmoil for Stellantis, with its new CEO Antonio Filosa inheriting the fallout from Donald Trump's 25 per cent US import tariffs and a crisis at Maserati, which has seen sales plunge from 26,600 in 2023 to 11,300 last year. With EV targets biting, petrol and diesel models under threat, and luxury brands cancelling investments — including Maserati's £1.3bn electric MC20 Folgore — Europe's car bosses are sending a clear signal to Brussels: ease off, or risk slamming the brakes on the continent's auto industry.

He also labelled one Chelsea player 'the best in the world in his position' the terry on top John Terry tells Chelsea they have to try to WIN the Premier League this year as former captain opens up on club role JOHN TERRY was the epitome of Chelsea's golden era under Roman Abramovich. The most successful captain in the club's history now thinks the Blues are ready to challenge under new ownership.

For all the chopping and changing at Stamford Bridge, Terry — who mentors players in the academy — can see a bright future after a summer of success. Eight months ago, boss Enzo Maresca was shooting down suggestions of a title challenge. Six months ago, the fans were chanting angrily towards their manager that they wanted 'their Chelsea back'. Since then, Todd Boehly's Blues have claimed a Champions League place, won the Conference League and the Club World Cup. Advertisement READ MORE ON FOOTBALL FEUD OVER? Gary Lineker attends niece Tia's wedding as fallout with brother Wayne eases And JT - who has exclusively revealed he's made a decision about his own future in the game - does not think Maresca will talk down their title hopes any more. The Chelsea legend, 44, told SunSport: 'I really liked the honesty from the manager because the message is clear to the players. We're not there yet. 'If you're the manager now coming into that dressing room and you're going, 'We've got a chance this year', the players will think we've got a chance. This year I think his message will be different. 'He was spot on because we were young, it was a little bit up and down last year. At the moment, we're clearly building and moving in the right direction.

We've got to go into it 100 per cent with the mindset of going, 'Yes, we have to try to win the league this year'. 'Without a shadow of a doubt. But there's other big competitions as well. Advertisement Fans spot Liam Delap's reaction on bench after Joao Pedro goal as Chelsea fans say 'this guy can't catch a break' 'You fight right to the end until it's not possible. The Premier League was done last season, Liverpool were very good last year and rightly the winners. We have to compete for that again.' Key to success will be whether or not the fledgling leaders within Maresca's squad can find another level. Reece James, 25, was called out by his manager last season for not doing enough as a captain but has stepped up since. Centre-back Levi Colwill looked to be following in Terry's footsteps at the back before his cruel ACL injury last week. Advertisement And Chelsea's 15-time trophy-winning former skipper has long been impressed by Enzo Fernandez. But James staying fit and leading on the pitch will be vital after missing months at a time with hamstring, knee and thigh problems.

He can make such a difference. 'We've seen the quality. When Reece is at it, he is the world's best right-back. Advertisement 'When you've picked up a couple of injuries like Reece has had, it's difficult to really feel like you belong. 'So when you start demanding from people around you, when you're the one not playing, that's also very difficult. 'When you're in the starting line-up week in, week out, it's easy to command and run the dressing room — and the standards of the football club.' Terry made more than 500 appearances as captain and says boss Jose Mourinho always demanded his skipper be robust and a regular. Advertisement JT said: 'You need to be robust. You need to understand that you can push through little injuries, niggles, and you can kind of come out the other side of it. 'You need to manage your body throughout the week and all of that.' As well as mentoring players in the Under-18s and U21s, Terry stops in to catch up and offer support to players such as James and Colwill. He even spoke to the pair of defenders before this interview.

'Out of pure respect, I don't get too involved because I fully respect the manager and his role. Advertisement 'I would never want to say something that goes against what he's saying to those players. 'But the boys know I'm always there if they need me. 'Not just the defenders but the ones that have just arrived. Always here to help. That's my role as someone who has been at Chelsea for so long and the club means the world to me.' And that is the clubman role he wants some of his academy predecessors to take up. Advertisement Terry said: 'You've got Reece and there's a few other boys that really live and breathe Chelsea. 'But the boys that come in and really buy into the club, this is where the importance of Reece, Levi and the academy graduates really play an important role. 'This is how we do it. This is what we do at Chelsea. We win football trophies and we win cups on a regular basis. 'All the top clubs have that. Man United have that, Liverpool have that, Arsenal. Spurs not so much . . . Advertisement 6 Terry was an assistant under Dean Smith at Aston Villa and Leicester Credit: Getty 'But all the big football clubs have that — they find a way to win. 'So in terms of where we were last year . . . a little bit inexperienced. Thiago Silva left and all of that. But the team managed to find a way to win.' Terry also believes recent successes will be transformative for the Blues. Advertisement While the Conference League would have been scoffed at during Terry's era had it existed, now it is viewed as a stepping stone within the camp. He said: 'It gives you belief, back when we won our first one, the 2004-05 Carling Cup at Cardiff, it gives you belief that it can be done within the squad. 'When you're a young group, it ripples throughout the whole squad of players.' If this group can match what Terry and his team-mates did after that Carling Cup win 20 years ago, the Blues will be in for one hell of a ride once more.

PSG blasted for ‘criminal' decision to axe Donnarumma as replacement Chevalier commits howler on debut vs Tottenham
FANS blasted Paris Saint-Germain for their 'criminal' decision to axe Gianluigi Donnarumma as replacement Lucas Chevalier committed a howler on his debut against Tottenham. Donnarumma was axed from PSG's Super Cup squad just months after leading the club to Champions League glory. 2 Lucas Chevalier produced a howler on his PSG debut against Tottenham Credit: Getty 2 The goalie came in at the expense of Man City target Gianluigi Donnarumma Credit: Reuters He blasted manager Luis Enrique in an open letter on Wednesday. And earlier today, Donnarumma's agent Enzo Raiola threatened legal action against PSG for their treatment of the stopper. But both men are sure to have smiled after seeing replacement Chevalier ship two goals in the Super Cup final against Spurs. The first came after PSG's new goalie produced a fine save, only for Micky van de Ven to pounce on the rebound. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL 'PRAYERS FOR KONE' Man Utd U21s game ABANDONED as ace is stretchered off in worrying scenes However, the second goal occurred after Chevalier suffered a severe case of sausage fingers, allowing Cristian Romero's effort to slip through his hands while simultaneously pushing it into his own net. Fans were quick to comment online that Donnarumma, widely regarded as one of the world's best goalies, wouldn't have made the error in Chevalier's place. One said: 'Dropping Donnarumma for Chevalier is criminal!' Another declared: 'Awful decision to downgrade from Donnarumma.' BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS One noted: 'But, but, Chevalier is better than Donnarumma!' Another added: 'It's a good thing PSG signed a goalie who is good with his feet.' Tottenham and PSG fans banned from buying anything but BEER ahead of Super Cup as bar leaves notes saying 'blame Uefa' Fortunately for Chevalier, he ended up having the last laugh on Wednesday night. Despite PSG being 2-0 down with five minutes remaining, they ended up taking the game to penalties thanks to last-gasp strikes from Kang-In Lee and Goncalo Ramos. Spurs then missed two of their spot-kicks, with Van de Ven's effort saved by Chevalier, as PSG lifted the Super Cup in dramatic style.
