Won’t be Aramco. Saudia maybe. Might be a lot more left field though, to keep the scrutiny away. Like Disney+ or something odd.
Will we still be with Castore Next season or is a new kit provider coming in? Castores training gear was lovely
That's what they specialise in I think, they need to bring in a designer for their shirts like. They're no where near as good.
Its Saudia who will be shirt sponsor and Aramco sponsorship in other areas. Saudia is not linked to PIF and therefore doesn't need PL approval as being a friendly commercial partner Will also be the first investment in the region outside of football as Airport will have to get tarted up. Also pretty certain Castore are history and a footnote in history.
I quite like having Castore as a bit less obvious and some of their stuff is nice. They did mess up the home kit this year tho. Simply designed it without considering the sponsor has to be on it as far as I can tell. Adidas would be the ideal though.
PIF are currently looking to sell their stake in Saudi Aramco, presumably to give them some cash to fund our transfer activity this Summer. Their stake is worth about $86billion at current prices so it should be sufficient for this Summer. This will then free Aramco up to sponsor us without any PL approval.
