Barcelona are on the brink of renaming their iconic stadium the ‘Spotify Camp Nou’

Barcelona are on the brink of completing a sponsorship deal with Spotify that will see their iconic stadium renamed the ‘Spotify Camp Nou’.

According to Spanish publication Sport, the agreement will come in around upgrades being carried out on their stadium which begin this summer.

In the 2023-24 season, Barcelona will have to play their home matches in the nearby Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic stadium while the renovations are being completed. 

The overall value of the deal is said to be worth in the region of £237million for Barcelona

Sportsmail reported in February that the deal with Spotify will be worth around £237million to the Spanish giants.

It is also expected that the deal would see the music platform blazed across the Barcelona shirts of both men’s and women’s teams as well as training gear.

Barcelona had no sponsorship on their shirts until 2006 and then it was charity Unicef that became the first name to appear on the shirts.

In 2011 they broke with tradition and signed a deal with Qatar Foundation eventually becoming Qatar Airways before that relationship ended in 2017.

The deal comes just months after Daniel Ek attempted to buy Arsenal from Stan Kroenke

They signed a 55m euros a season deal with Rakuten the same year but that deal runs out at the end of this season and the club have been reviewing options in the last few months.

The deal comes just months after Spotify owner Daniel Ek attempted to buy Arsenal from Stan Kroenke.

Ek was preparing a £2billion bid to takeover the North London club after his opening offer of £1.8b had been rejected. However, Kroenke refused to sell.
