Barcelona agree mega deal; Club president delighted after sealing £53m deal

Spanish champions FC Barcelona have signed a new shirt sponsorship deal with Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten, a deal which is worth over £200m over the next five years.

The deal will see Rakuten covering the sponsorship of the first-team shirts only. Barcelona are yet to negotiate a deal for training kits and in all probability the Catalan giants would stick to their current main sponsor Qatar Airways.

According to reports from the Mirror, the deal could be worth up to £53m per season.
