The resignation of Ferran Reverter as FC Barcelona’s CEO has been officially stated to be due to personal and family reasons. However, some rumors suggest there may be more to it than that.
In fact, one report says that the real reason behind the split is his disagreement with Barcelona’s new sponsorship deal with the music platform Spotify.
It is reported that Spotify will pay 280 million euro over three years to sponsor the club’s shirt and for naming rights on the Camp Nou.
La Vanguardia reports that there was a disagreement between Reverter and club president Joan Laporta over the sponsorship deal, but that was not the only reason for the former’s departure.
