I guess if alot of you do not know Rakuten, they have been very smart in using Barca as their marketing channel :) But it is basically japanese version of Amazon.

Yeah,googling them they seem very big company indeed but not known globally.
Makes sense they would be tempted to sponsor a club like Barca

Was also hoping for 60-65. In few years this won't look like much.

But, yes, it is a substantial increase and we are getting rid of Qatar.

So we are at 55m, followed by Manchester United at 54m and then Bayern at 50m and Chelsea at 43m I believe.

Real Madrid currently is paid 30m I think by Emirates Airlines and their deal will expire in 2018, they will probably up it to 60m plus.

It is 4 seasons. So the amount is good enough i believe. We can get another sponsor after the expiry of the contract. I am suprised so many people dont know about Rakuten.

If I found truetfull data they payed 900m$ for Viber? That sounds solid moneyflow...

Just hoping they make some good design with the logo on the jersey. It looks strange... thst Quatar was there to long.

I've never heard of Rakuten before but I would much rather be associated with the Japanese than the Qataris.

That´s why they are willing to pay the big bucks. Alibaba does not need advertising. Rakuten will world known because of this deal.

This contract is for 4 years. Good for us. In 2020 we can make a new deal.

Is it 30 for scumadrid? I read 20M pounds, about 23M euros. 2014/2018

I am hearing 30m, but you could be right. Either way I think Real Madrid will definitely seek to up theirs to our level, the question is whether Emirates Airlines will be able to afford that much money since they sponsor one major/elite team in each of the top 6 European leagues.

True. They will get a great deal also. Their brand is also very big. And also a big Adidas deal.

I am seeing some of the Vissel Kobe (a J-league team that Rakuten owns) jerseys and they look awful with the big Rakuten R logo in the middle of a Japanese meatball design. I hope they will ditch that silly design and stick to a plain and simple "Rakuten" for our jerseys.

The shirt in general is Asics and horrible.

I think a plain R logo or the Rakuten would look fine on ours.. I'm sure someone with Photoshop will get one uploaded soon.
