Aeroflot and Qatar Airways Battle It Out Over Barcelona Sponsorship
Apr 15, 2018, by Pat
Russia's Aeroflot and Qatar Airways are in negotiations to become the official airline for FC Barcelona, a sponsor slot the Catalan club has been trying to fill since losing the Qatar Airways shirt sponsorship last summer.
Local paper Mundo Deportivo reports that Spanish budget line Vueling was also in talks with the club but that the negotiations with Aeroflot advanced fastest and almost reached completion.
Interestingly, according to the report, Qatar Airways, Barcelona's main sponsor until last season, entered the battle recently and could still be an outside option. The Qatari airline recently signed a similar deal with Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich. Aeroflot, meanwhile, is Manchester United's official airline.
An official announcement for the deal, which is valued between €7 and 10 million per season, is not expected in the immediate future as it will have to ratified by different parts of the club.

This is already their 5th kit combination at the 2026 World Cup. It makes them the team with the second-most kit variations at a single World Cup, just behind France who used 6 combinations in 2018. Huge thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage and infographic.
