Man City Sign Kit Deal Worth Reported £1 Billion

Puma and Manchester City have inked a historic new uniform agreement valued at an estimated £1 billion ($1.34 billion) for the following ten years.

The Premier League's largest-ever kit manufacturing relationship was formed when City and Puma extended their arrangement.

According to British media, City and the German corporation reached an agreement in 2019 to pay £65 million annually; the new agreement is reportedly worth £100 million annually until 2035.

The £90 million annual contract Manchester United negotiated with Adidas in 2023 is shattered by that amount.

Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are both reported to have kit deals worth in excess of £100 million per year.

“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,” City Football Group chief executive Ferran Soriano said.

“Puma have seamlessly integrated into our organisation, and we have enjoyed many historic moments together, engaging fans globally.”

Puma chief executive Arthur Hoeld added: “Puma’s partnership with Manchester City has been a great success both on and off the pitch.

“Trophies, a perfect stage for our performance products and commercial success were exceptional.”

City’s massive deal comes after the club’s first season without major silverware since 2016-17.

Pep Guardiola’s men finished third in the Premier League after winning the title for the previous four seasons.

They also suffered a shock FA Cup final defeat against Crystal Palace and crashed out of the recent Club World Cup in the last 16 against Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
