Laporta: “There is a confidentiality clause that we have to respect. As for the comparison with Rakuten, I have already told you that it is the best shirt sponsorship contract in history, you already understand the answer”.
Laporta: “We value confidentiality, but taking into account the magnitude of the agreement, we decided to accept it.”
Laporta: “I would tell my client to vote quickly and vote yes because it is a great agreement. I would not recommend my client to know the exact figure if I have already guided him as to where the figures are going.”
Guiu: “There is a first reconstruction phase of four seasons and then an eight-year agreement. It exceeds the Rakuten agreement because we are going to 12 years.”
Guiu: “It is not that it is decided to sign a confidentiality agreement. Spotify’s history has never revealed any agreement they have made. There are companies with Universal, Sony… they have never been revealed. From day 1 the clause is marked of confidentiality. These are their rules and we have to respect them as they will respect ours”.
Guiu: “The income from this agreement will come out in the annual accounts.” Guiu: “The figures are not official from the club and you already know how the press works in this country” Laporta: “These confidentiality agreements are very common, we are already telling you that it is the best sponsorship contract in history. We understand that Spotify I don’t want to give figures.
Guiu: “If the women’s brand can be negotiated with another brand, yes, but we believed that it was a great asset to do it together. This reinforces the message of this board for the commitment to equality of people. It was underestimating one or the other. The assets they don’t go in a pack. When you start a negotiation you talk about different types of assets. The shirts were a first objective, then we went to the Stadium, it’s something historic”.
Guiu: “Concerts at the Camp Nou? We want to do a lot of entertainment and music inside the new Espai, and obviously at the Camp Nou”.
Guiu: “The figures for women are well above what we had.”
Laporta: “We have committed to working together to reinforce Barça’s image. There will be concerts at the Estadi, Spotify has experience because it is a reference. In the women’s we will find ways of collaborating that will reinforce our commitment to equality”.
Laporta: “One of Spotify’s commitments is to soon present its platform in Catalan.”
Laporta: “In this case we will still look at how to redirect it, but since it is worldwide, the fact of doing it in English does not harm the contrary, it benefits the number of followers”
