Castore in Talks to Become San Lorenzo Kit Maker
- San Lorenzo's Potential New Kit Sponsor: Argentine club San Lorenzo is in early negotiations with British brand Castore to become their new technical sponsor, despite a current contract with Atomik until 2028.
- Current Kit Deal and Previous Relationship: San Lorenzo recently ended a decade-long partnership with Nike to join Argentine brand Atomik at the start of 2025, but the club's board is already exploring alternative options.
- Castore's Market Expansion and Reputation: A deal with San Lorenzo would represent Castore's significant entry into the South American market, though the brand has faced past supply-chain issues in Europe leading to contract terminations.
Argentine giants San Lorenzo could be set for another kit supplier switch in the near future. According to club-focused journalist Juan Pablo Ugarte, the Buenos Aires side is evaluating a change of technical sponsor and has opened negotiations with British brand Castore.
San Lorenzo in Talks with Castore
San Lorenzo only recently partnered with Argentine brand Atomik at the start of 2025, bringing an end to their decade-long relationship with Nike. The existing agreement between the Ciclón and Atomik is officially slated to run until the end of 2028, but the club's board is already exploring alternative options.
Founded in the United Kingdom, Castore has rapidly built an extensive football portfolio in Europe that currently includes Everton, Athletic Club, Feyenoord, and Burnley. Securing a deal with San Lorenzo would represent a major step into the South American market for the British sportswear manufacturer.
The prospect of a switch has sparked mixed reactions among San Lorenzo supporters. While some welcome the potential return to an internationally recognized label with greater global distribution than domestic brand Atomik, others remain cautious due to Castore's past supply-chain issues, which previously contributed to early contract terminations with European sides such as Sevilla and Bayer Leverkusen.
With negotiations in their early stages, neither San Lorenzo nor Castore has released an official statement. Any potential agreement would also require the club to resolve the remaining years on their active contract with Atomik.
