Barcelona is set to become the highest-earning club on the planet when it comes to kit sponsorship.
According to a report from Diario Ara, the Catalan giants are closing in on a 10-year, €1 billion contract with Nike, who will continue to make the Blaugrana kit for the next decade. The deal will be signed and announced in the upcoming weeks, and Barça's €100 million-per-year deal would surpass Manchester United's €96 million/year agreement with Adidas as the richest kit sponsorship in the world.
Barça and Nike have been negotiating for over a year on a new deal, and there was fear among board members that president Josep Maria Bartomeu wouldn't be able to reach an agreement.
