Serge Gnabry to Leave Nike and Join Puma?
Puma could be snapping up yet another interesting player as Bayern Munich and Germany winger Serge Gnabry was spotted wearing a pair of blacked-out Puma Future cleats.
Upon closer inspection, the boots worn by Gnabry appear to be the next-gen Puma Future 19.1, which are set to be debuted in early January. Something similar happened recently with Virgil van Dijk, who, just like Gnabry, is officially still with Nike.
As the end of the year is edging closer and with many contracts running until December 31, it's well within the range of possibility that Gnabry's is amongst them. At the moment we are cautious, but a switch to Puma might get confirmed early next year.
