After breaking off his relationship with Nike earlier this year, Jack Grealish has signed a lucrative “long-term” boot deal with Puma.
The Man City star wore a pair of blackout Nike Phantom GX boots against Tottenham in January in a nod to him leaving the American sportswear giant.
He then debuted his Puma Future Ultimate Supercharge boots against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, and Puma have now officially unveiled the England star as a marquee acquisition.
The deal, according to the Athletic, is ‘worth considerably more’ than what he earned from Nike.
Grealish joins Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann, Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic and PSG star Neymar as part of the Puma football stable.
Grealish is one of the Premier League’s most marketable stars, not least since his £100million switch to Manchester City in 2021.
Last year fashion giant Gucci moved swiftly to tie Grealish down to a seven-figure endorsement deal – and now he has added Puma to his growing sponsorship deals.
‘We want to make Jack one of the most important brand faces in football and culture,’ Johan Adamsson, Head of Sports Marketing at Puma Global said.
‘His position opens up opportunities to work with many of our fashion initiatives and to collaborate with him on his many personal causes.’

What Jack Grealish Had To Say
Having tied up a lucrative new boot deal, Grealish is now eager to kick on and score the goals needed to deliver Champions League success – starting next week in their last-16 second leg against RB Leipzig.
‘I’ve got a Premier League medal but I want to win as many trophies as possible and be successful here at City,’ he said after the announcement.
‘I said before that when I was young (my dream) was to play for Aston Villa. Once I conquered that I had another dream, then another one.

‘It was never really to play at a World Cup, it was just to play for Villa, then score for Villa, then the next thing, then it turned to playing for England, then playing at the Euros, at the World Cup, scoring at the World Cup.
‘Luckily enough, I’ve been fortunate to have done all of those. Next in line would be to win a major trophy with the national team, and the Champions League.’
