Manchester City are \u201cconfident\u201d in their 115 charges case after agreeing a lucrative new sponsorship deal,\u00a0sources have told Football Insider.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Man City were dealt the charges by the Premier League in February 2023 for allegedly breaching the financial fair play (FFP) rules over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018. <\/p>\n
They are alleged to have concealed payments through third parties by disguising them as sponsorship revenue. <\/p>\n
An independent commission hearing started in September last year and ended in December, with the panel still considering its verdict. <\/p>\n
There has so far been little information provided about when the decision could be revealed, leading to concerns among Premier League clubs<\/a> about how long the case could drag on for. <\/p>\n Despite the uncertainty surrounding the case, Man City have now extended their partnership with Puma<\/a> for a further 10 years, with the contract reportedly worth a minimum of \u00a31billion. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n The 10-time English champions initially signed a \u00a365million-a-year deal with the German kit manufacturer in 2019. <\/p>\n Their latest deal, which is believed to be worth a Premier League record \u00a3100million a year, surpasses the \u00a390million-a-year agreement rivals Manchester United<\/a> signed with Adidas. <\/p>\n Sources say Man City<\/a> and Puma have shown a sign of confidence the club will avoid a significant punishment in their 115 charges case after extending their partnership. <\/p>\n IF IT’S MAN CITY, IT’S PUMA \ud83e\ude75<\/p>\n We have extended our partnership with @pumafootball<\/a>, which began in 2019.
