The relationship between FC Barcelona and Nike goes back a long time. They began collaborating since 1998 and to this day they are together hand in hand when it comes to the club's clothing. But recent incidents of out of stock on presses, t-shirts, etc. and in addition to other scuffles over economic terms that do not affect Barça, it could generate the definitive fracture between the sponsorship of the North American brand and the Blaugrana team.

And what's more, according to information from 'Mundo Deportivo', the German brand Puma is getting involved and wanting to be the one to obtain Barça's sponsorship in the coming seasons. A priori, due to a matter of logistics and the fact that everything is already underway, the Barça shirt for next season will continue to be from Nike.

But Puma's idea is to get involved now for 2025/26 and surpass the current offer from the Yankees. In fact, in the cited source there is talk of being the leading team of the brand, and that it dresses teams like Manchester City.

Nike is paying 105 million euros plus another 50 million in variables, so the Germans' offer would be higher than this and there is talk that it would be close to 200 kilos between fixed and variables. A business that, if it weren't for nostalgia and the history behind it with Nike, would close everywhere. And many fans cannot conceive of Barça without Nike and in fact there are many of the biggest fans who have already born this association.
