Manchester United are at an advanced level of negotiations with US technology company Qualcomm over a new shirt sponsorship deal, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have been seeking new shirt sponsors after announcing last year that their\u00a0existing deal with TeamViewer wouldn’t be renewed.<\/p>\n
They later announced that an agreement had been made for United to buy back their front of shirt sponsorship rights and the club have been targeting new investment ever since.<\/p>\n
Having already established an existing relationship with Qualcomm, United are now targeting a deal worth \u00a360m-per-year, as reported by The Athletic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Appearing on the front of the iconic shirt is one of the most valuable advertising spaces in the world, with United currently being paid\u00a0\u00a347million-a-year.<\/p>\n

Qualcomm’s deal would usurp that value and could take United ahead of the current biggest shirt sponsorship package held by Real Madrid and Fly Emirates.<\/p>\n
However, it is expected that any new shirt sponsor would have to wait until next season to start appearing on the front of kits given the amount of replica tops already in circulation.<\/p>\n
Qualcomm specialise in providing digital connections through state-of-the-art technology advancements and have recently struck a deal with Apple to provide their new 5G modems.<\/p>\n
The American firm, based in San Diego, describe themselves as: ‘Qualcomm is enabling a world where everyone and everything can be intelligently connected.’<\/p>\n
Their\u00a0Nasdaq stock price had risen 4 per cent for the day’s trading at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Manchester United’s current front shirt sponsors TeamViewer aren’t renewing their deal<\/p>\n

Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold<\/p>\n
United already hold a deal with the company to promote their subsidiary brand Snapdragon, software used in Samsung phones and other premium technology organisations.<\/p>\n
The agreement that was made last year also saw Qualcomm agree to provide United with solutions on how they can improve mobile connectivity for matchday fans at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
United have since upgraded their WiFi to help supporters stay online throughout matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A deal of \u00a360m-per-year is being targeted with Qualcomm, although no concrete figure has been agreed by the involved parties as negotiations continue.<\/p>\n
