FC Barcelona is the last great
European football club without a T-shirt sponsor. This is set to change.
The club is in talks with the online sports betting provider
Betandwin.com about a sponsorship deal, a spokeswoman confirmed
told MediaGuardian.co.uk. According to estimates, the deal is expected to cost up to
cost 12 million pounds. The Real Madrid sponsorship contract
amounts to 9.5 million pounds. However, it is unlikely that the
deal will be completed in time for the next football season,
reports the spokeswoman. A faction of the club would not
welcome the idea of using FC Barcelona players as advertising media on the
football pitch.
