Barca president Joan Laporta has been unsatisfied with the club's deal with Nike for some time, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/barcelona-president-joan-laporta-nike-breached-contract-la-liga-giants-discussions-puma/blt7961d26776a1266b" target="_blank">has reportedly explored new merchandising partners for the Catalonian club</a>. And despite having an offer on the table from Puma that would pay €100 million (£86m/$108m) per season, the president is considering switching to an in-house manufacturer for the famous kits, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/decision-historica-barca-dispuesto-romper-98833824" target="_blank">Sport</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/barcelona-president-joan-laporta-nike-breached-contract-la-liga-giants-discussions-puma/blt7961d26776a1266b" target="_blank">Laporta suggested earlier this month</a> that Nike had broken their agreement with the Spanish giants: "We have some concerns and a situation that is not what we wanted. The operation has been deteriorating, we think they have breached the contract."

WHAT JOAN LAPORTA SAID

Barca last penned a deal with Nike in 2016, and would seem to be locked into that contract until 2028. However, <a href="https://onefootball.com/en/news/barcelona-and-nike-not-seeing-eye-to-eye-on-contract-terms-puma-new-balance-on-high-alert-38648941" target="_blank">if the club are able to wriggle out of the contract</a>, they could be up for a new agreement as early as next season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Decision time is approaching for Barca. If they are to break their contract with Nike, they can either pen a lucrative deal with Puma or start distributing their own kits.
