The Nou Camp could be set for a major rebrand with Spotify set to close a deal with Barcelona for £236million to sponsor the famous ground, making them the latest club rename their stadium
Barcelona may have completed three huge deals in the January transfer window, but they may have just landed another major agreement with Spotify ready to sponsor the club.

Question marks were raised over Barcelona's three winter signings due to the financial situation that leaves the club on the verge of turmoil, but according to Rac1, they are set to receive £236million from the music streaming platform.

The report suggests that Spotify will be the main sponsor for men's, women's and training kits, and they will also have access rights for the Camp Nou over a three-year period.

Barcelona aren't the first team to take on a stadium sponsorship, and they certainly won't be the last, with the money involved making it a very appealing proposition as football takes another step into a new era.

Following reports that Barcelona's famous stadium is set to be renamed as 'Spotify Camp Nou', Daily Star Sport takes a look at some of the other big stadium sponsorships throughout Europe.

In 2013 one of Turkey's biggest names opened up a brand new stadium, and signed a mammoth deal with mobile brand Vodaphone when doing so.

Besiktas' agreement is a 15-year deal spanning until 2028, with the Turkish side pocketing a cool £105m to not only wear their brand on their shirt and training kits, but for their stadium to also house the company name.

The beautiful stadium has seen less European action than the company may have liked in recent years, as the likes of Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and even Besiktas have weakened substantially compared to previous generations.

But even still, the deal will last until 2028, meaning that Besiktas will continue to receive £6m until their current agreement expires.

Etihad Stadium - Manchester City

Manchester City's deal to re-brand as the Etihad Stadium is one of the more famous examples on the list, but it was also met with the most controversy at the time.

A massive £400m fee was issued for the complete naming rights and sponsorship agreement for an initial 10-year deal at City, although controversy came as many believed it was a gross overvaluation.

The branding has clearly worked, as it's hard to think past City being sponsored by the Airline, with Thomas Cook their previous sponsor when the owners came in.

Allianz Arena - Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena is a work of art from the outside, but also houses one of the best atmospheres in European football inside the ground too.

However, it's not the only Allianz affiliated stadium in Europe, as Juventus are also sponsored by the financial company, but they are not alone either.

Allianz holds the rights to eight stadiums across four continents, but to compensate for the fact that Bayern's stadium name isn't unique, they pay the club around £6.5m per year for the sponsorship.

It's a good price too, as unlike City and Besiktas, this figure is purely for the stadium, and not for the shirt sponsor, as Bayern currently have a deal with T-Mobile.

Wanda Metropolitano - Atletico Madrid

The Wanda Metropolitano is the home of Atletico Madrid, who waved goodbye to their historic Vicente Calderon ground as they made the step up into a wonderful new stadium.

Although the name may flow and sound rather authentic, Wanda is in fact a Chinese company, and not a flamboyant way of expressing 'wonder' as some fans are led to believe.

The IT company Wanda not only pays Atleti £8.4m a year, but they also went one further and bought a 20% stake in the club, taking over the naming rights of the training ground and stadium when doing so.

Although Wanda was thrown into the name, the company agreed to keep 'Metropolitano' in honour of the club's first home stadium, a nice gesture to the club and the fans.
