Athletic Bilbao to Sign Castore Castore Kit Deal

Athletic Club are set to become the latest club to sign a kit deal with Castore from 2023-24, according to a report by Deia.

In its story, the local news website states that the club have taken the decision to take advantage of a clause in their contract with New Balance that lets either party unilaterally end the deal in 2023, two years earlier than planned.

It's noted that the deal with Castore would increase the club's earnings by at least €1 million per season from the €3.5 million Athletic currently receive from NB, with the potential for further increases in the future if certain sales targets are met.

Athletic have been with New Balance since 2017, following up four-year deals with Umbro and Nike. Check out the full Athletic Bilbao Kit History over on Football Kit Archive.

An official announcement of the Athletic Club Castore kit deal could took place either towards the end of the 2022-23 season or at the Ordinary Assembly, which is usually held in October or November.
