Good deal and good choice. I don't think Barca ever wanted other options, Crypto or Vegan (never heard of that one before, call my ignorance.).

I for one am thrilled with Spotify. Been using it since day 1 when you needed an invite to create an account.

Don't know a single person IRL who doesn't use it and those who've been trash talking Barca will now be supporting us indirectly which is a W for me.

So much for Messi being responsible for our sponsorship deals. Same as with Ronaldo at Madrid, these clubs are much bigger than any single player.

They kind of are responsible. All those years when Barca and Madrid where the two top clubs must have done wonders for attracting more fans and media attention.

Maybe Ronaldo had a lower impact over Madrid's economic fortunes, but Messi established Barca for domestic dominance and overall success.

It remains to be seen how much money will the club generate post-pandemic, if we get a superstar but don't win much.

Barcelona was a top club long before Messi....
Barcelona was the most successful Spanish team with 6 la liga titles and a UCL during the 90s...
Barcelona will continue to be a top 3 club in terms of revenue, Messi or not. It's a historical club a part of the football pantheon.

The beginning of the 90s when internet was just a pipe dream for most and even cable TV didn't have the same coverage?

Did we become the club with the highest revenue in the 90s?

Not saying Barca wasn't a top club before Messi, but having him won us 8/10 Ligas and 3 CLs(had a bit of an influence in 2005/06 also) in an era when money really started flowing into football and social media, pay per wiew was booming.

Or do you think all those Catalan 'geniuses' that ran the board were masters at getting money anyway?

Man Utd are still living off the Fergie era and their successes at the end of the 90s - beginning of the 00s.

Bro barcelona was as big as any team before Messi.

Many other GOATs played for us other than Messi.

Messi played with a bunch of GOATs in the team. He didnt win 3 CLs by himself smhh Who won the world cup and Euros by themselves without Messi

Spotify deal isn't good tbh

Sponsor of men and women shirts

Camp nou name rights

Training shirt rights

94m a season

Rakuten was 55m a season and it was just the men's shirt sponsor

Not good bros

Lol. Women's shirt is like 3-4 million. :lol: Bayern get 6-7m a year for Allianz naming rights.

You add all of that it's around a 20m increase + a bigger brand (nobody knows what Rakuten does). Plus shorter contract to renegotiate for more if things go well after 3 years and we get back to top of Europe.

And sleeve is still open for another sponsor btw.

Me?

The deal is better in every way than Rakuten + Beko. Bigger brand, considerably more money, shorter contract to give you leeway in future negotiations.

I didn't imagine we'd be getting around 100m for kit sponsorship and stadium (the current one) name rights. For a club that is not even playing in CL anymore.

It's the right type of sponsor for where we want to position the club. Let's see what additional mileage we get with the Spotify platform and their userbase. Could be huge.

Sleeves alone won't get us that much.

Previously Socios.com was said to be a done deal for our sleeves, I wonder if it is true.

Sleeves and front of the training kit, no? If I read the original source (RAC1: https://www.rac1.cat/esports/202202...ini-barca-spotify-samarreta-camp-nou-nom.html) correctly, it says that Spotify will replace Beko on the back on the training kit. Beko currently is printed on the front and the back of the training kit, so that should leave the front still to be sold, no?
