BARCELONA: Qatar Airways could further secure their links with Barcelona by taking up naming rights to Camp Nou as the two parties enter talks about a renewed sponsorship deal.

Club president Josep Maria Bertomeu recently indicated that the Catalan club were considering possibly ending their sponsorship agreement with the Qataris because of ‘social and political issues’ but it now appears the deal could be extended.

Qatar Airways ceo Akbar al-Baker, said: “Everything is a possibility for our company, we’re open to surprises and one of these could be connected to the name of Camp Nou.

“Qatar Airways and Barcelona have the same values. It is possible that our name is added to Camp Nou.”
