Barcelona announce partnership extension with Gillette

FC Barcelona have announced an extension to their partnership with Gillette.

The deal sees Gillette move from a regional partnership in Latin America to a global partnership.

A joint press conference is being scheduled for the next few months, order where the full details of the deal will be revealed.

Barcelona also announced their support for Argentinan striker Lionel Messi and his father who were both found guilty of tax evasion.

Messi was handed a 21-month prison sentence over tax fraud but is unlikely to spend time in jail as Spanish law permits any sentence under 2-years can be spent on probation.
