Adidas to Go For FC Barcelona?
- Adidas Interest: Adidas is reportedly considering making a bid to become FC Barcelona's kit manufacturer, potentially replacing Nike.
- Nike Contract: FC Barcelona's current deal with Nike runs until 2028, but there are existing tensions between the two.
- Speculative Information: The information about Adidas's interest is not confirmed and could be a tactic by FC Barcelona to pressure Nike.
After losing Germany to Nike (in 2027), Adidas could hit back and sign a deal with Nike-sponsored FC Barcelona. This is reported by Barcelona shirt collector and insider @memorabilia1899
FC Barcelona Kit Insider: Adidas Could Join Race to Make Barcelona Kit
According to @memorabilia1899, Adidas intends to join the race to become Barcelona's kit maker and is planning to propose a long-term partnership with FC Barcelona.
The current Nike FC Barcelona deal is valid until 2028, but there have been tensions between Nike and the club. 105 million euros go into FC Barcelona's coffers every year, for a total of 1.05 billion euros.
Footy Headlines Opinion - Loose Info, May Be Spread By Club to Increase Pressure on Nike
The short statement by @memorabilia1899 is very loose and could also be spread by the club to increase pressure on Nike. It seems very unlikely that Adidas would be willing to pay more than the 105 million Euro Nike pays Barcelona. Since Nike signed the deal with the Catalan club in 2018, FC Barcelona has been experiencing a downfall.
Do you think it is a real option for Adidas to make Barcelona's kits? Could Nike then go for Real Madrid? Let us know in the comments below.

Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
