Barcelona in advanced talks over deal to rename Nou Camp

Barcelona are set to sign a deal with Catalan pharmaceutical company Grifols to rename the Nou Camp and a deal could be finalized before the end of the year. Should the deal be confirmed, which is very likely according to the RAC1 report, the stadium would be renamed as 'Camp Nou Grifols'. Grifols are said to be leading the race for naming rights, ahead of multimedia communications group Mediapro. The deal will allow Barcelona to invest at least €200 million in the “Espai Barca” project to renovate the area surrounding the Nou Camp and build a new Palau Blaugrana, the indoor arena used by Barcelona’s basketball, handball, futsal and roller hockey teams.
