FC Barcelona has signed a record-breaking shirt sponsorship deal with Japanese company Rakuten in a 4-year deal worth around £188 million that is £47m ($58m) a year that is second only to Manchester United’s record £53 million a year deal with american car manufacturer Chevrolet.

Barcelona signed a lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with Japanese online retailer “Rakuten” which is second only to Manchester United and Chevrolet deal. Rakuten is the largest online retailer in native Japan and they looking to expand their business world wide and what better way to put their name on front of the most successful team in recent european football history. Barcelona will be getting £47 million a year with current deal which runs for next four years and an option to extend to fifth year. With this deal, Barcelona are well on their way to be the financial powerhouse in Europe as they have already negotiated a record breaking kit suppliers deal with Nike and the new Barcelona-Nike 10 year deal starts from 2018 which is worth a massive £100 million a year plus bonuses and merchandise sale share.


FC Barcelona-Rakuten Shirt Sponsorship Deal (Disclosed)
CONTRACT                   YEARLY    TOTAL       BONUSES & PENALTIES
4 Years (2017-21) £47 million a year (£58m) £188 million £5m for winning champions League
£2m for winning La Liga


So by 2018-19 season, Barcelona will be getting around £147 million a year guaranteed just from their shirt sponsorship deal with Rakuten & Kit suppliers deal with Nike. That put them in the league of their own until Real Madrid negotiate their respective deals in the coming year which is surely set to eclipse both Manchester United and Barcelona’s current contracts.

If we look at the European football kit deals its so evident that Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the league of their as far as financial power is concerned. Teams like Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain will have to put together a decade of success to come anywhere near top three European teams.

EFL Cup 2017 winners will get a mere £100,000 in prize money while the runners-up will pocket £50,000.

EFL Cup 2017 Prize Money (£100,000 for Winners)
JANUARY 31, 2017 BY TOTALSPORTEK2 LEAVE A COMMENT

EFL Cup 2017 winners will get a mere £100,000 in prize money while the runners-up will pocket £50,000. Below is the entire breakdown of EFL Cup 2017 prize money plus how the gate receipts payments are distributed among participants according to home/away rules and how much every team get for live match.


Manchester City defeated Liverpool in the League Cup final to win 2016 Capital One Cup (now known as EFL Cup). But how much do the League Cup winners get in prize money ? Well not alot in fact its a mere £100,000 which is awarded to the team by English FA while the runners up get around £50,000 which is almost the average weekly wage of a player in premier league.

How Much A Team Can Make In EFL Cup ?:

1. 45% gate receipt for every home away match from Round 1 to Wembley Final
2. Part of broadcasting money to teams whos matches shown live on UK Time
3. £100,000 for the winner of Capital One Cup
4. £50,000 for the runnerups.
5. Europa League place for the winners or runner ups (in case winners qualified throught league system)

The prize money starts from the round 1 matches and it goes like that. FA will give winners of round 1 ties £5,000, round 2 winners get £7,000, winners of round 3 get £10,000, round 4 winners pocket £15,000 and semifinals winners get £25,000


Gate Receipts and TV Money: But the biggest chunk of the money comes from the gates receipts as Each finalist gets 45% of the wembley final ticket money. Last year when Bradford reach final they made around £1million in gate receipts and television cash. Chelsea and Tottenham pulled more crowd and higher TV money and both teams should have made a little over £1 million each from the final appearance in capital One Cup.

The sharing of gate receipts start from the first round matches every matches gate reciept is shared 45% each
between both home and away clubs while 10% goes to FA. That is why some time lower league teams are over joyed when they draw a top premier league side away. MK Dones defeated Manchester United in the early rounds of capital one cup this season and they got around £1.7 million shared in gate receipts of old trafford.

So a good run of results for a lower league side in the Capital One Cup can bring them good results and if they can turn the odds win the cup they can also get a place in Europa League.

That is why Premier League teams dont take the cup seriously and mostly give chance to fringe players in the cup run and who can blame them, The survival in premier league will earn a team atleast £65 million and it will jump to in the region of £100 million from 2016-17 season with new tv rights deal for premier league

LADIES: See The 6 Types Of Men To Avoid If You Are Looking For “The One”

Most times women are attracted to the wrong guys who they know they shouldn’t even consider dating but at the end of the day, they find themselves dating them, while the heart is busy making a stupid decision the brain should know when it’s time to stop the decision.

Ladies, here are some types of men you should stay away from when you are looking for a serious relationship.

1. The Narcissist: “Stay away from a man that is too self-centered and who obsesses over himself, it is normal for someone to care about himself but there should be a limit to that”.

2. The desperate guy: “Attraction is different from obsession, so stay away from a man that is obsessed with you, it is not good for you”.

3. The smelly guy: No one wants to go near someone that stinks no matter how rich, caring

4. The unhygienic guy: “You wouldn’t really want to go out with a guy who looks like he does not understand the words ‘shower’, ‘laundry’ and ‘clean’, right? Then make sure that either he cleans up or you bounce”.

5. The bad boy: “While some girls may find guys who break the rules attractive, it’s not really a problem falling for a rebel because when this guy turns reckless, you’ll end up being at the police station bailing him out for doing something wrong”.

6. The Broke Guy: “While I’m not saying that guys who are not well-off are bad, while you may be a good couple, make sure that he’s not using you for your money”.

While most of these guys listed above are fixable, be sure you take the right steps in the right direction if you’re looking for a serious relationship, something that is for a long-term.
