Ever since Manchester City brought in Pep Guardiola as their manager it seems that the club is going in the right direction.
The City owners have pushed in a lot of money since they bought the club and now they are finally reaping the dividends – both on and off the pitch.
According to reports in the British media, the Citizens are set to end their six-year association with American sportswear giants Nike and are ready to bring in Puma as their new kit sponsor.
It is being reported that Manchester City will sign a mountainous £45million-a-year deal with the German sportswear brand and the deal is pretty close to being wrapped up.
An Etihad source said: “There have been rumours for a while and nothing is set to be announced yet.
“There is more certainty about the place that everything is on the right track when it comes to Puma.
“They are pushing the boat out and beating off some of their rivals. It is getting closer and closer.
“City still have a strong relationship with Nike so the fans must be patient. There’s work to be done.”
Puma already sponsor Arsenal in the top flight of English Football and the association with Manchester City will definitely be another feather in the company’s hat.
More details to follow soon.
