FC Barcelona defines its roadmap to close the multi-million-dollar renewal with Nike

He was not too happy with the treatment he was receiving from Nike, nor with the money he received during each season for using the American firm's clothing. However, the Catalan team and the North American brand left that bad moment behind and have negotiated throughout this year to close a new agreement, which would extend the brand's work with Barça beyond the summer of 2028, the date currently in force in the current contract.

The conversations with Nike have been led by president Joan Laporta, and Nike's executive director, John Donahoe, as we have previously explained in FCBN, and now, with August just a few hours away, both parties are close to sealing an agreement that will be historic for Barça after so many months of negotiation.

The Barça already knows when could have all agreed with Nike

With this current scenario, 'Mundo Deportivo' explains that Nike has announced that it will make a ten-year offer and that it will increase the 95 million of its last proposal, all on the condition that the lawsuit that the Catalan club is still maintaining is withdrawn, with the idea of ​​ending the legal dispute between the parties. The information indicates that the Catalan entity is seeking a proposal for ten seasons for 115 million annually.

Now the club hopes that there will be a white 'fumata' in mid-August with Nike, which would also be a great push at the level of 'fair play'. Despite the fact that in the previous weeks everything seemed to be closed in July, Nike has been somewhat inflexible in its idea of ​​not exceeding 100 million euros per season, something that Barça is looking for no matter what, understanding that in the market it could earn about 120 million with a new brand.
