/Thread/ #FCBarcelona have been on the hunt for a new sponsor for the past few months. The current sponsorship deal with Rakuten ends at the end of the current season and will not be renewed. At the start of the season, Rakuten reduced the sponsorship fee from €55m to €30m. 
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 With the Blaugrana club looking to increase their revenues and turn their dire financial situation around, the front-of-shirt sponsorship has been identified as a key area where they could make some key improvements.
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 As you may know EFE, one of them came from a ‘cryptoexchanges’ company and the other from an Indian company dedicated to online education, the two over €55m per year.
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 The cryptoexchange company is one of the three largest in the industry and has come to offer €70m plus a 20% bonus based on the performance of the first men’s football team.
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 With better eyes, Laporta received an offer from an Indian company dedicated to online education which this summer went as far as offering €58m plus a 15% bonus and which corresponded to the values defended by the Barça club.
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 But Barça is exploring a path that Josep Maria Bartomeu’s board had already attempted two years ago. A part of the Barça club executive is interested in an investment fund owned by the Saudi government that contributes €100m! per year for #sponsorships.
@fcbusiness @SBI_Barcelona @muradahmed @Fernandopluri @amirsomoggi @SportByFort @Prof_Chadwick @barcagalaxy @JColagrossiNeto @RafaelH117 The option is encountering much reticence within the club, as the recent General Assembly approved the inclusion in the Statutes of the commitment to combat gender discrimination, homophobia, sexism and racism, values which is believed would not be in the line of this sponsorship
