Amazon-Barça negotiations are at risk of being jeopardised

The filtering of news that Amazon is negotiating with Barça to become a new sponsor - after next season - has fallen like a bucket of cold water on top of both parties.

Amazon - according to Blaugrana sources that spoke to SPORT - aren't happy that this information has leaked into public knowledge and are considering to end their talks with the club.

Both sides tried to keep the deal secret, but reports in the media seem to have complicated matters further as Barça continues to search for a new shirt sponsor.

These same leaks could also result in being a source of tension between the club and Qatar Airways, who had also been in negotiations to renew their three-year agreement that ended on June 30.

Barça and Amazon continue to try and find an agreement to form a partnership in the not too distant future but - as SPORT can assure you - that will not take place for the 2016/17 season.
