Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker has revealed that the company's name could be added to Camp Nou following negotiations with Barcelona over a new deal.
The airline's current contract as the Catalans' main sponsor is due to expire in 2016 and they are ready to step up their sponsorship a notch.
"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," Al Baker said at a press conference.
"Qatar Airways and Barcelona have the same values. It is possible that our name is added to Camp Nou."
Barcelona vice-president Javier Faus, meanwhile, has confirmed that both parties are set to discuss a new contract.
"Barcelona have nothing but gratitude for Qatar Airways. We are extremely satisfied with Qatar Airways and I can assure you there are zero problems with Qatar Airways, zero with Qatar and we definitely hope that this partnership lasts many, many, more years.
"We are set to negotiate a new deal with them. A final decision will be made this year."
