Cesc Fabragas has shocked just about everyone on planet football (possibly everyone on the planet period, reports are unconfirmed) by training with FC Barcelona in an unreleased pair of Puma football boots.
The Catalan midfielder has been in scintillating form for the Blaugrana since his switch form Arsenal, wearing his signature Nike CTR360 football boots.
But it seems that the Spanish international is looking to mark his change of club with a change of football boots too, as he was shockingly spotted sporting a pair of the unreleased Puma PowerCat 1.12‘s whilst in training for Barcelona’s upcoming Champions League clash with FC Bate.
Fabregas has been training in a mystery pair of white-out football boots over the past 7 days, with many suggesting the playmaker was testing the new CTR360 III for Nike.
But now it looks likely that the 24-year-old midfielder was wearing some white-out football boots (possibly the Tiempo Legend III) to signal the end of his contract with the American brand.
The new Puma PowerCat 1.12‘s are certainly hard to miss in a bold Royal Blue/White colourway, and are likely what the likes of Manchester United’s Phil Jones and Queen’s Park Rangers Joey Barton has been spotted playing in.
Should Puma actually make a move for Fabregas, is would cap off an almost-ludicrous 2011 for the German brand, who have also captured Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry and Steven Pienaar to wear their football boots.

Do you think Cesc could leave Nike for Puma?
Let us know in the comments!
Nike wouldn’t drop such key athlete, but since he’s role in Barcelona is not as significant as Xavi / Iniesta, Nike could sign someone else new… who knows! pretty shocking but we won’t know until he smiles in front of wall full of puma logos!
Not as significant as Xavi/Iniesta? The guy has been on fire since he moved to Barca. Messi apart, he’s the main man at Barca now.Â
If Puma land Cesc they must be serious about competing with Nike and Adidas.
Where are they getting all the cash from though?
I think Puma might have paid over the odds a couple of years ago for some players that never really ‘came good’.
You think of all the players that switched out of Puma in the past few years (remember the v1.08 ‘speed legs’ advert? Plenty of the players in that ad never really reached their full potential, or have started to retire).
Puma might well let their contracts expire of the last 2 years, and are now in a position to sign quality over quantity.
anything is possible. he left arsenal.

Puma have some serious players on their resume already, especially forwards.Â
Eto’oFalcaoAgueroHenry Its well deserved though they make great boots that are extremely comfortable and durable. I love my v1.08s more than any boot ive owned (various predators, various vapors, laser iii, tiempo)
PUMA make great boots no surprise the stars are now flocking to them and dumping the nike plastics
Not surprised, Puma is a fine boot maker, plastic Nike and Adidas need to cut the recycling made in china bs and step it up.
I liked his old boots the Nike CTR360’s they have to be better than his new Puma’s
