Have you ever wondered why the players of the FC Barcelona They didn’t have facial details or the iconic Camp Nou stadium in the games? This is due to the financial decision of the Barcelona club to associate with konami for a full license on the previous games of Pro Evolution Soccer, which is now called eFootball.
However, according to the media TyC Sports, the association between both companies ends this year 2023 and a negotiation window opens. The question falls ripe at this point: will Barça seek to sell the exclusive full rights to one of the two simulators?
Given the economic situation of the club and the repeated levers of Laporta, they could opt for a total sale of the club’s image in any of the video games. According to the outlet, Konami is planning to seek full exclusivity, while Electronic Arts sees an opportunity to recover one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
So far, EA Sports FC’s launch trailers have been largely absent. PSG is present with Verrati, but Mbappé has not been taken into account, who is in the dilemma of going to Real Madrid or renewing his contract. The other absentee has been FC Barcelona.
Electronic Arts’ football simulator has its favorites: Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. We also see other clubs in the preview, such as Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Juventus FC, Borussia Dortmund, Atlético de Madrid, etc.
LaLiga bets on EA Sports FC
Let’s remember that the great investment of Electronic Arts this year has been in sponsoring the Spanish league. From the following season, it will no longer be LaLiga Santander, but will instead have the name of LaLiga EA Sports.
This could also be an incentive for the company to put the highest offer on the market to have the current champion of the league.
