The agreement between FC Barcelona and Nike is about to fall, but there are still some pending issues to sign the new contract between the parties. According to journalist Gerard Romero, Barça would not be willing to extend its duration too much
The discrepancies between the FC Barcelona and Nike have postponed, more than the expected, the signature of the new agreement between the Barcelona group and the American multinational. In accordance with the journalist Gerard Romero, the last point that has dilated the negotiations has to see with the fact of prorrogar too much the years of agreement, since the club would not be had to sign by more than a decade with the mark of the pipe.
In principle, near sources to the managerial culé ensure that the agreement would close by fifteen years and a net entry for the Barça near to the 120 million euros by season, without explaining other profits that would leave other 100 'kilos' clean to the club by concept of premium of renewal. For the Barça, the closing of the agreement is one of the 'crowbars' keys to be able to fichar this summer, by which, while faster was official the signature, better.
The sale of T-shirts, another point against for the interests of the Barça
In addition to the subject 'Fair Play', in Barcelona also see with worry the delays that will suffer the sale of the new Barcelona clothing for the next season. Nike designed a special T-shirt, with a touch 'vintage', to commemorate the 125 anniversary of the club, but the next zamarra recently would go on sale the first week of July, at least two weeks later of the usual.
Of equal way, regarding the marketing, also there are problems, since to these heights the players have not been able to do the official photos with the new clothing because of the doubts that there was on the future of the society with Nike. The T-shirt title for the 2023/24 went on sale on 15 June 2023. This year, the new mantle culé recently will be available for his commercialisation before it initiate the pre-season on 8 July.
