Jack Grealish signs ‘British record contract’ as he agrees long-term boot deal in major brand change
JACK GREALISH has signed a reportedly British record contract with Puma.
The brand will take over from Nike as the Man City star’s boot sponsor, as he revealed on Instagram.
Grealish had worn Nike boots for his entire career but now he joins the likes of Neymar and Antoine Greizmann as part of Puma’s roster.
The Telegraph have reported that the deal could see Grealish get a “blockbuster record-breaking boot deal for a British player”.
This could see him earn more than the deals that Harry Kane and Gareth Bale had.
Grealish is already an ambassador of brands such as Gucci, Bose headphones and Airwayz.
On the new deal, the 27-year-old said: “For me Puma felt like a perfect fit.
“They have an amazing history in football and have worked with some of the world’s greatest players.
“I am delighted to join the family and to be a Puma 2 Future athlete.
“I am at home on the pitch and want to express myself, which is something I like about the brand, they do things differently and have a great outlook on football.

Puma director Johan Adamsson added: “Jack Grealish is one of the most exciting players in Europe, with his outstanding technical skills and his quick feet he can be the difference between winning and losing.
“He turns heads on and off the pitch with his quick feet and personal style which makes him an outstanding new addition to the Puma family.
“We want Jack to be one of the leading faces of the brand in football and culture.
“Jack’s position opens the opportunities to work across many of our fashion forward initiatives and work together with him on his many personal causes.”
