Puma - £650M shirt deal confirmed

[Gabriel]

Exactly. Shirt sales don't begin to cover the cost of these deals for the manufacturer. Having your shirt worn in the Champions League final is worth far more to them. It's like counting how many fake Ronaldo boots have been sold to measure whether his deal is worth it.

Only Dortmund have managed that for Puma in over ten years.

Nope. You're wrong.

Don't think he is. The people who have given me kit info for the last few years well in advance of anything leaking, told me a while back it's one more year of Nike.

The brand is pretty high right now. Helps also to have the characters we do like mendy, sterling etc the Amazon doc will really be interesting and hopefully make the fans even more close to the club and it’s inner workings .

This says it was a 6 year deal starting 13/14 season so it may well have a year to run

It does , but it was from May 2012, so I'd have thought 12/13 was the first year.

I'm sure City could pay some sort of figure to get out of the final year of the deal if need be. Chelsea did and their deal was worth more per year before they canceled it, so it's not a prohibitive measure.

Compared to Virat, in which universe ?

Well. in mine. I read this list of Puma names and while I recognized almost all, I haven't the slightest clue who Virat is. I just had to google it up to find out. So in the world where cricket exists, he's a huge name I guess. Here in the States, not so much.

Friendly sportsman’s wager then for next season.

Tbf it does say the deal runs until 2019 in that article and that’s city’s own website
