Barcelona receives biggest sponsorship offer in the history of football

Barcelona’s current deal with Rakuten expires this summer, and no sponsor has been finalized for the coming season. The club have been actively receiving bids from interested parties for a few months now.

According to reports from SPORT, Barcelona have received the biggest sponsorship offer in the history of football. The proposal will see the club garner €80 million annually. Though the deal has not been finalized, it is being actively studied.

In recent days, a few names came up in media rounds as possible sponsors for the coming season. Global music streaming giants Spotify lead the list as the most probable option.

However, the club has also received offers from cryptocurrency firm Polkadot and Tencent gaming amongst others. The former seemed to make a strong case to become the sponsor, but the relative volatility of the cryptocurrency market led the board to hesitate.
 
How the fuck are Barca still signing players!?! Looks like morata and taglifico are both going to them this week!?
 
Reports of them agreeing new sponsors:




Just reports for now.



It breaks down as €68m (£56.6m) a season for Spotify and €20m (£16.7m) for Polkadot.


For comparison we're at €81m (£67.5m) a season for Etihad (which includes stadium naming rights) and £10m (€12m) for Nexen Tyres but that was before the contract extension in 2020.
 
Barca have always promoted themselves as a membership sports club and not just football. Their business model is falling apart like many of the history clubs that relied on patronage and sustained dominance. They benefited from the changes in media exposure but have failed to move with the times.
 
Crap signing but I can’t help but think Wolves will be low balled in the summer. There’s no way they’ll pay the ‘optional’ future fee and Wolves will have less leverage in his final 12 months.
