The relationship between FC Barcelona and Nike, the brand responsible for dressing the club, is in the midst of a tense standoff that could lead to the termination of the current contract.

According to Joan Laporta, president of Barça, in recent statements: "We told Nike that, based on what we considered blatant breaches, we were terminating the contract within a period of 45 days, the time they had to compensate us for these breaches. They didn't do it."

Barcelona has given Nike a 45-day deadline to address the breaches, but the company has not taken any action in this regard. Faced with this situation, the Blaugrana club has issued a notice of contract termination.

Laporta added: "We informed them that the contract was being terminated, to which they responded by filing preliminary injunctions, which we have responded to. Now we are waiting for the resolution of these measures to see where we stand with Nike, who have also come to Barcelona to try to improve the contract."

The Barcelona president explained that Nike has tried to negotiate and improve the current contract, which expires in 2028, but the efforts made have not been sufficient to satisfy the club. Now, they are awaiting the resolution of the preliminary injunctions filed by the company to determine the future of the relationship between both parties.
