Barcelona are closing in on a new sponsorship deal with kit manufacturer Nike, which could be a major financial boost for the Blaugrana as they enter another summer with uncertainty over their finances.
The new deal is expected to be a decade long, and will be worth up €1.2b based on their annual earnings, plus a €100m signing bonus, as reported last week. That bonus could be on the way as soon as next week say Sport, claiming that Barcelona believe they could announce the deal as early as next week.

After months of legal threats over breaking their current deal of 26 years, studying the option of making their own kits, and sounding out Puma over a potential offer, Barcelona and Nike appear to have found a way to remain together.
The timing could be important, with Barcelona due to present their budgets next week to La Liga which will impact their salary limit for this summer. In particular, the signing bonus could fill the gap left by the €40m that Barcelona have not received in payments for the sale of 49.5% Barca Vision in 2022, and the €60m they are due in June.

2 clasico victories out of 10
660 millions wasted in assets
2 eliminations in EL
1,6 billion debt
Last CL win 2015
Coach carouselle, 4 last coaches resulted in only 3 trophies
2 trophies in last 3 seasons
Another 0 trophy season
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🫵🤣
2 classico victory is wrong. Ultimately winning league is most important thing – they won it last year. Can’t win it every year with a team like Madrid.
If you don’t win champions league you get eliminated – only one team in Europe can win it. Everyone else gets eliminated.
Debt is coming down – covid hit them harder than most.
