Joan Laporta spoke about the sponsorship agreement with Spotify, a company that will succeed Rakuten as the main 'sponsor' of FC Barcelona and, in addition, could be awarded the 'title rights' of the Camp Nou
The directive of the FC Barcelona expects to close in the next days the agreement with Spotify so that the company of Swedish multimedia services turn into the main 'sponsor' of the club during the next three years. The institution will obtain 187.5 million euros by the agreement, which will include the frontal sponsorship of the T-shirt blaugrana (57.5 'kilos') and the name of the Camp Nou (15 'kilos'), in addition to the secondary sponsorship of the clothing of training.
"Everything goes quite well and the agreement will announce when we sign the agreement with Spotify", affirmed Joan Laporta this Sunday, clearing that they will have to approve the agreement in extraordinary assembly of compromisarios. "We think that it is the best option, links us to the music; ojalá go out the before possible", expressed the president culé, main agent of the negotiation that finished causing the renunciation of Ferran Reverter like CEO of the club.
Reverter Considered that the figures of the agreement with Spotify were insufficient for the needs of the institution. In fact, the initial negotiation was of 280 millions by three seasons, figure that has reduced to 187.5 'kilos'. Thus, it is likely that the managerial opt for returning the negotiations with CVC, as the rest of clubs of LaLiga. The Barça opted for backing the decision of the Real Madrid and refuse the agreement with the company of capital of British risk, posture that surprised to the president of the competition, Javier Thebes.
With the injection of capital of Spotify, adding to the eventual agreement with CVC and the credit requested to Goldman Sachs, the club expects to amend his economic problems and, in addition to reinforcing the staff for the 2022-23, begin the project of remodeling of the Camp Nou. Besides, the intention of the club is to renegotiate with his 'sponsors' once the sportive and financial situation of the institution improve. Today the Barça has lost terrain, but Laporta trusts to plant the things in his place.
"Still there is opportunity in LaLiga"
After the 'prick' of the Real Madrid in field of the Villarreal (0-0), the president blaugrana encouraged to affirm that "always there is League, will have our opportunity". Likewise, Laporta comment his position regarding the 'case Dembélé': "since we have him, if the trainer considers it, that play and do it well", sentenced the leader, leaving clear that the directive backs 100% the decisions of Xavi Hernández on the management of the staff and of the 'serial' wintry.
