That would be a real blast!
FC Barcelona could get a new supplier after 25 years. According to a report in the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, the German brand Puma wants to take over the jersey of the famous top club and displace Nike. “A complicated topic,” sources close to Barça told the media, without denying the interest of the sporting goods manufacturer from Herzogenaurach.
Insiders even suspect that the jersey for the 2025/26 season could already come from Puma. Nike will definitely deliver the famous blue and red jersey for the 2024/25 season for logistical reasons – because ordering and production of the new jerseys must begin shortly. Barca’s contract with the US giant actually runs until 2028 – by then it would bring the club 105 million euros plus a further 50 million in possible bonuses. However, Barcelona could terminate the contract.

The relationship between Barça and Nike, which dates back to 1998, has been considered tense in recent years. The reason: There were repeated phases in which the first team’s jerseys were no longer available to buy – also due to production errors. There were even legal steps between the two parties due to alleged trademark infringements.
Another strain on the relationship is that Barça and Nike have different ideas after the corona pandemic: While there are voices in the North American company who want to negotiate the remuneration downwards, Barcelona wants to demand more. Precisely because they have offers that offer you more.
