OFFICIAL: Milan Sign Puma Kit Deal
Confirming the previous reports, AC Milan and Puma this morning confirmed they have agreed on a long-term kit sponsorship agreement that will commence this summer.
Bjørn Gulden, Chief Executive Officer of PUMA said: “We are very proud to be partnering with AC Milan. They are one of the most successful clubs in the Football history with a large, global fan base and the team and their fans show the true spirit of football. If you ask me, the Rossoneri jersey is one of the most iconic jerseys in football. We are looking forward to the next chapter of this legendary football club being with PUMA.”
Marco Fassone, AC Milan Chief Executive Officer said: “I am very pleased to announce our partnership with PUMA, to whom we’re bound by mutual esteem and by our common passion for sports and football values. They represent a major international brand and we’ll be proceeding together in the next few football seasons in our strategic pathway striving to reach new and extraordinary goals off and on the pitch.”
Milan joins Olympique Marseille in leaving Adidas for Puma this year, as the Germany-based company adds the two European giants to their impressive roster of clubs that already featured the likes of Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.
Although nothing was officially confirmed by either party, the Puma AC Milan kit deal was earlier reported to be worth between €10 and 15 million per season - less than the current Adidas deal (€20m).
The first Puma AC Milan kits will be released this summer ahead of the 2018-2019 season.
