The upcoming summer transfer market could be a make-or-break window for FC Barcelona. La Blaugrana have underperformed this season, and many blame the poor team management to have been a major cause. Consequently, Barcelona hopes to learn from those mistakes and revamp their squad more effectively.
However, to do that more effectively, Barça will first need clarity from La Liga in terms of their budget and spending allowance. With their reports and documents already submitted, it will become clear soon enough if Barça will be able to operate normally or not.
Fortunately for the Catalan giants, a new update may favor their hopes rather well. According to Spanish journalist Adria Albets (h/t Barca Times), the renewal deal that FC Barcelona are hoping to sign with Nike could be a massive step forward in helping them return to normality and finally be able to execute their transfer plans properly.
The Nike deal that is being referred to here is the one that several reports were talking about in recent weeks. One that would allow La Blaugrana to match the deal between Adidas and Real Madrid allowing Barça’s deal to be among the most lucrative in the world of football itself.
In the event that this deal ends up being signed, the report from the Spanish journalist suggests a great boost for Barcelona. A deal reportedly worth €120 million with mega revenue involved in terms of renewal bonuses, Barça could really use such a financial injection in times like this.
With several high-profile names on their agenda such as Joshua Kimmich, Martin Zubimendi, Nico Williams, and others, Barcelona need all the help they can get as they look to make those acquisitions a reality.
However, this is still merely speculation, and while the agreement with Nike should provide a very sizeable boost, there is no telling what the ultimate possibilities are until La Liga provides its own final verdict.
