Manchester City’s attacker, Jack Grealish has just signed a big boots deal with Puma which officially ended his previous long-term relationship with Nike.

The English international’s tattered boots incident happened a while back when he was still playing with Aston Villa. That situation caught many people's attention as he was wearing his completely torn cleats in Villa’s Championship play-offs final victory against Derby County back on May 27, 2019.
However, Grealish’s torn boots didn’t actually trigger the player’s decision to switch gears as he actually explains the reason for it. In the interview with the media, the versatile attacker reveals that his Nike Hypervenom cleats were torn apart simply because he kept using the same pairs from late February until that final date, considering it as his lucky boots.

A couple of days ago, Grealish pretty much confirmed what many have already known about his switch from Nike to the German-based sports manufacturer. However, the reason it’s unlikely is because of his 2019 tattered boots incident but most likely due to Puma making a much better offer.
According to reports, Grealish deal with Puma, which is set until 2028, will earn him the highest boot deal for a UK athlete. The 27-year-old reportedly could be earning up to £10m per season, which will beat Harry Kane, whose contract with Nike are worth around £4m per season.
