According to Sky Sports, Man City star Raheem Sterling is unlikely to sign an extension with Nike after his current contract expires. Sterling's current contract expires on June 30 and Puma are touted as favourites to get his signature. Nike and Air Jordan were in talks with English international for a contract renewal that could have seen him join the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James at the top end of Nike’s ambassador portfolio. However, Puma, who are the official kit sponsors for Man City are pursuing a £100 million deal to get the former Liverpool star on board.
