Puma targets Rayan Cherki with €3‑4M boot deal

Puma is preparing a boot sponsorship deal estimated at €3‑4 million per season for Manchester City midfielder Rayan Cherki. The offer comes as Cherki’s five‑year Adidas contract expires this summer. Cherki recorded 25 goal contributions in 52 games across all competitions in his debut Premier League season for Manchester City. Those numbers placed him among the league’s most talked‑about attacking players. He joined Manchester City from Lyon for a £34 million fee last summer. Highlights this season include a solo goal against Arsenal in April and two assists in a 3‑0 victory over Chelsea. Pep Guardiola described Cherki’s talent as something that “cannot be taught”. Former City striker Sergio Aguero said Cherki has made the Blues a much better team.
