Barcelona are reportedly set to receive a massive financial boost from a new kit sponsorship deal.

According to multiple reports, the Catalans have struck a deal with the government of the Democrative Republic of Congo to promote tourism in the country.

Barcelona are set to receive €10 million a year to wear the message “DRC, the heart of Africa” on the sleeves of their kit. The agreement will last for three years.

The total amount of the deal is therefore around €30m which should help the club at a time when finances remain an issue.

Barcelona are thought to need exits this summer if they are to make any more new signings and also to register new arrival Joan Garcia.
