Manchester City have agreed a new kit deal with manufacturer Puma worth £650million.

That makes it the second biggest agreement in Premier League history, with only Manchester United’s £75m-per-year contract with Adidas worth more.

City will get £65m every season over ten years – more than treble the cash on offer from their current supplier Nike.

The deal, which will come into effect from July and also covers the champion’s sister clubs in Australia, Spain, Uruguay and China, is the club’s largest ever.

City beat West Ham 1-0 on Wednesday night to keep the heat on leaders Liverspool , who ruthlessly swept aside Watford 5-0 at Anfield.

Chief executive Ferran Soriano said: “It is a historic day for us. What we are doing has not been done before. It is an unprecedented partnership.

“We now have seven clubs in five continents. We needed a partner that can move fast with us.”

The deal covers the club men’s, women’s and youth teams at Melbourne City, Girona, Club Atletico Torque and the newly-acquired Chinese outfit Sichuan Jiuniu.

The only club not included are New York City, due to the centralisation of such deals in Major League Soccer, and Japanese side Yokohama F Marinos, who are still under contract with another manufacturer.

Puma CEO Bjorn Gulden said: “Puma’s partnership with City Football Group is the largest deal that we have ever done – both in scope and ambition.
