Barça-Spotify agreement: confidential details leaked

close >

The agreement with the Swedish company must be approved without the details of the process being officially known due to the confidentiality clause, but RAC1 and Sport have published the details.

Next Sunday, through a remote gathering, Barcelona’s feuding partners must agree, in theory blindly and relying solely on the word of their president, to the agreement between Blaugrana club and Swedish company Spotify. The said agreement includes the name of the stadium (which will be renamed Spotify Camp Nou), the shirt destination for the men’s and women’s teams and the men’s training shirt, as well as a different margin that includes advertising space in the stadium, and press releases. and promotional actions with male and female players.

All of this must be voted on, presumably, without knowing the numbers provided by the streaming music production company to the entity due to a confidentiality clause imposed by the Daniel Eck-headed company. However, both RAC1 radio station and Sport newspaper detail the amounts, concepts and frequency of income, which in total would add up to 435 million.

The media agree that for the shirt, Barcelona will enter a fixed amount of 57.5 million euros over the next four years plus 2.5 million in variables. These represent 60 million annually, 240 million until 2027. For the training clothing of the first men’s and women’s division, 5 million will be introduced in the next three years, i.e. 15.

The Camp Nou agreement is more complicated, given the circumstances that it will be under construction and that it is expected, at least for one season, that Barcelona will play in the Estadi Olímpic. Thus, Spotify will pay five million over four years (the business ones) and from the fifth year, it is assumed that with the new stadium, the figure rises to 20 million over 8 years. In total, 180 million.

Adding 240 million for the match shirt, 15 for the training shirt and 180 for the stadium adds up to 435. Of course with all the secrecy that the Swedes demand.
