Premier League champions Manchester City have struck a multi-year deal with cryptocurrency company OKX as the official sleeve partner. It is regarded as one of the top cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume and a major Web3 technology business. More than £55 million will be spent over the course of the three-year shirt sponsorship agreement.
Both the men’s and women’s first-team playing uniforms will have the OKX brand on the left sleeve as part of the enlarged agreement. They will continue to be located on the first team practice uniform’s left sleeve. The sponsors will also be visible on other physical and digital club assets.
Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive Officer at City Football Group, said, “We are very proud to have OKX represented on the sleeve of the Manchester City shirt. Both OKX and Manchester City are leading companies driven by a passion for innovation. We have already seen great Web3 experiences designed by OKX for Manchester City’s global fan base and there will be many more to come. This is a very exciting partnership.”
Sponsoring Manchester City is going to give them good exposure with the team’s growing success and widening fanbase recently. Pep Guardiola‘s team is coming off a historic treble-winning season, the second club in the history of England to do so.

Manchester City contact Gabri Veiga’s agent
According to rumors, Manchester City has spoken with Celta Vigo star Gabriel Veiga’s agents. The Spanish youngster is a hot prospect and is on the transfer list for multiple Premier League teams. Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are also interested in the 21-year-old. All four of these teams are willing to trigger his €40 million release clause.
After making an impact in La Liga for Celta, the Spain U21 international is currently overseas at the European Championships. In the league last year, Veiga scored 11 goals and assisted on another four. It has been reported that City and Veiga’s agency, Israeli football agent Pini Zahavi, has spoken about Veiga’s future.
City are impressed by the young Spaniard and envision him as a midfield mainstay for the club in the future.
