City sign £1bn kit deal

City sign £1bn kit deal

Record deal in football history

Manchester City have extended their partnership with Puma for at least another ten years. The new kit deal is worth at least £1 billion, the BBC reported on Tuesday. It is the biggest ever kit deal in the Premier League.

City initially signed a £65 million-a-year deal with the German shirt manufacturer in 2019. But the parties have agreed to continue the collaboration until at least 2035. City will earn a full £100 million, or €115 million, per year from the deal.

The figure surpasses Manchester United's £90m deal with Adidas from 2023. Champions Liverpool will have the same supplier from this season, following a £60m-a-year deal.

City have had an amazing period of success since 2019. They have won four Premier League titles and also won the Champions League. 

Both parties have achieved record sales globally, according to City.
