Puma is another strong name in modern sports. In football, this brand is now growing up in a speedy way. Here we are talking about the top football players who are sponsored by Puma.

Sergio Agüero (Argentina)

Argentine striker Sergio Agüero is one of the best strikers of his generation. He is one of the greatest players in Premier League history, who helped Manchester City to win their first five Premier League titles. The former Atletico Madrid striker is also the all-time most goal-scorer for the Manchester Blues as well as the all-time leading non-English goal-scorer in Premier League history. However, present Barcelona striker Agüero’s playing career is now moving towards the ending line, especially after the recent seriousness of his heart condition.

Agüero was a member during Argentina’s title victories in the FIFA World Youth Championship 2005 and FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007. In the 2007 edition of the U20 World Cup, the young striker led his nation and won the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards of the tournament. He was also a key member for Argentina to win the Gold Medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Agüero was also a crucial regular member of the Argentina national football team when they finished as the runners-up in the FIFA World Cup 2014.

Sergio Agüero is currently sponsored by Puma. In early 2020, Puma celebrated Agüero’s record-breaking 12th PL hat-trick with a pair of special edition PUMA One.

Meanwhile, Puma also produced a special-edition 500 goal FUTURE Z football boot for Suárez.

Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is known as one of the greatest goalkeepers ever in football history. He is one of those rare players who have experienced at least 1,000 official football matches at all age levels (including national teams’ youth level).
