Unlike the internal and external troubles of the Bartomeu period, Barça has been popular under the leadership of La Porta for some time! In addition to successive strong reinforcements in the reinforcement market, Barca has also received good news in terms of market development.
Earlier, Barça officials said that at the recent special general meeting of members, a total of 625 members voted in favor, and finally the sponsorship agreement between Barça and Spotify was successfully approved. Under the agreement, the audio platform will become Barça's main partner. Spotify will appear on the front of Barca's men's and women's first-team jerseys for 4 seasons.
In addition, Spotify will also sponsor the training uniforms of these two teams for 3 seasons. In addition, this company will also be named the home of Barca, and camp Nou will be renamed as the camp of nou, mighty and domineering! According to previous reports from the Spanish media, Barcelona's new sponsor Spotify will pay a total of 435 million euros in sponsorship fees in the next 4 years.
Laporta called this sponsorship agreement the best in Barca's history and one of the best in the world. Although he cannot disclose the specific amount of this sponsorship agreement and other details according to the contract, one thing is certain, with this agreement, Barca's economic pressure will be greatly alleviated. The immediate upside is that Barca can chase big-name players this summer, such as Haaland.
Prior to this, there were many rumors of Barca and Haaland. In order to get the hot super attacker, Harvey and Cruyff Jr. personally went out to talk with the players. But since then, Barca executives have repeatedly expressed pessimism about the deal in public, and the biggest obstacle is that the cost of signing Haaland is too high. In addition to knowing the contract, signing fees and commissions, Barca's salary space cannot accommodate Haaland's sky-high contract.
But Spotify's sponsorship deal gives Barca a huge breathing space, and barca executives won't stop. At present, there are still a number of economic plans in full swing, including the ball cuff sponsorship, Nike's contract extension and the CVC agreement. In addition, this summer Barça will also vigorously promote the work of clearing redundant personnel, if this series of plans can be smoothly advanced, Barca will be full of blood resurrection, signing Haaland without any pressure.
But then again, Laporta had a hard time giving Barca the "right to breathe", and he couldn't have healed his scars so quickly. Haaland is good, but if this signing breaks the club's new salary system, Laporta will certainly refuse without hesitation.
Barca fans are not optimistic about Haaland's arrival, but Rudiger is different. According to the Daily Sports, Rudiger's agent has met with Barca executives to discuss the summer window. At this meeting, the price asked by The Rudiger side to Barca was 7 million euros after tax, as well as a signing bonus.
€7 million? I have to say that this asking price is very reasonable. Previously signed Christensen and Casey are both around 6.5 million, while Rudiger's strength and importance are even better. This is a proper champion centre-back, capable and experienced, and mentally strong. His addition can help Barca to complete the renewal of the defensive line well, and even Pique can gradually fade out of the main squad next season.
