Manchester City have been handed a boost from Puma in their attempt to sign Erling Haaland if reports are to be believed.
According to the Daily Star, Puma are eager to sign Haaland up once his sponsorship deal with Nike comes to an end. With the German sportswear company being City’s kit supplier, this could aid the Manchester giants in signing Haaland.
As per the report, Puma are willing to offer Haaland £50m to make the switch from Nike. Moreover, the decision could play a role in City landing the 21-year-old striker.
Pep Guardiola’s side are one of many top clubs eager on signing the Borussia Dortmund attacker. Haaland is likely to leave in 2022, with a £65m release clause set to be activated in January.
Indeed, any advantage will be crucial to teams aiming to sign Haaland next year. And this decision from Puma could well play into City’s hands for the 21-year-old attacker.
With Puma supplying City for the past few seasons, the sporting powerhouses could hold the keys needed for the Manchester giants to sign Haaland, who would be an outstanding addition for the Premier League champions.
