Raheem Sterling is delaying his long-awaited decision over his next boot deal as he approaches the end of his Nike contract.
The Manchester City star is currently mulling over a host of lucrative offers from all the major sportswear giants including Puma and Adidas.
But Sterling, it is understood, will play a waiting game as he decides which firm he’ll sign for, with the England star not expected to make a final decision until the start of 2021.
Current kit suppliers Nike have a matching rights period, allowing them to mirror any deal presented to Sterling by a rival.
