Man City sign record £1 billion Puma kit deal

The Sun16-07-2025
Manchester City have secured a historic £1 billion kit deal with Puma, marking the most lucrative agreement of its kind in Premier League history.
The 10-year contract, reportedly worth £100 million annually, surpasses Manchester United's £90 million yearly deal with Adidas.
The partnership extension follows City's initial £65 million per year agreement with Puma in 2019. Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona are also believed to have deals exceeding £100 million per year.
City Football Group CEO Ferran Soriano highlighted the success of the collaboration, stating, 'We joined forces with Puma with the ambition to challenge ourselves and go beyond the expectations. We have achieved this and more over the last six seasons.'
Puma CEO Arthur Hoeld echoed the sentiment, calling the partnership 'a great success both on and off the pitch.'
He added, 'Trophies, a perfect stage for our performance products and commercial success were exceptional.'
The deal comes after a rare trophyless season for City, who finished third in the Premier League after four consecutive titles. They also suffered an FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace and an early exit in the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal.

Soccer-Man Utd boss Amorim hails 'really important' Fernandes

FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - Friendly - Manchester United Training - Hong Kong Stadium, Hong Kong - May 29, 2025 Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes during training REUTERS/Tyrone Siu/File Photo (Reuters) -Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim heaped praise on captain Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder scored twice in a 2-1 pre-season win over fellow Premier League club West Ham United at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday. Fernandes, who scored 19 goals and provided 19 assists in 57 appearances across all competitions for United last season and won the club's Player of the Year award, was linked with a move to Saudi Pro-League club Al Hilal earlier this year. However, the 30-year-old said last month that he had considered the move but ultimately turned it down to keep playing at the highest level. Asked about Fernandes' importance to the team, Amorim told reporters after the win: "It was so clear last season, you can see it with the goals and assists. But it's not just that. "I think now he has more players, I feel, to help him to lead the group, and that is a good thing. He is our leader and really important, not just on the field but off the field. He leads by example. "Sometimes, the problem is he gets frustrated and loses a little bit of focus of his job. Sometimes, he wants to help the teammates so much, it is not the best thing to do. They have to do their job, and Bruno has, for example, to wait for the ball." United have signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo so far in the transfer window, with Amorim saying the signings would take some of the pressure off Fernandes in attack. "Last year, I felt sometimes I pushed him back to have more possession in the build-up, and we miss Bruno near the box," Amorim added. "With different characteristics from Bryan (Mbeumo) and Matheus Cunha - and I really like Kobbie Mainoo's game - he (Fernandes) will have more help this season."
