[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media, Barcelona and Nike could not reach a final agreement by this Friday, but Barcelona hopes that LaLiga will accept an initial contract document to meet the rules and allow the club to continue signing players before the transfer window closes. Negotiations between Barcelona and Nike have been ongoing for quite some time, and securing this new contract is crucial for Barcelona as it will help them immediately return to a normal 1:1 signing model. Recently, significant progress has been made in negotiations between Barcelona and Nike, and a preliminary agreement has been reached. However, the final agreement is not expected to be finalized by this Friday. Barcelona plans to first submit an initial sponsorship contract document to LaLiga and then finalize some signings before the summer window closes, such as signing a left winger or a central defender. Barcelona has communicated its intentions to LaLiga, hoping they will accept this proposal. It is reported that Barcelona will renew its contract with Nike for ten years, with an annual sponsorship fee of €90 million plus bonuses. Additionally, Barcelona will receive a €100 million signing bonus, payable over ten years.
