Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest football players of all time, and his trajectory in the game allows him to receive special treatment compared to other footballers in the world. He has a special deal with Nike, who has been his partner since 2003 when he joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon. He became the face of the American brand for many years, and he signed a lifetime contract with them in 2016. Ronaldo, along with other Nike athletes, is given access to new releases of boots, shirts, etc., ahead of everyone else, which is part of their contracts. The athletes, including Ronaldo, are given access to a secret website, according to former Nike athlete Ben Foster. Foster said, “There is a secret website for Nike athletes, where they will have a login and password. They can go on and basically just order what they want. They’ve all got an account which will be credited with a load of money and they just get to dig in. It’s pretty cool, to be fair.”
Ronaldo reportedly has a deal with Nike worth more than $1 billion and earns around $186 million a year because of the deal. CR7 is the richest athlete in the world, according to Forbes, and his contract with Al Nassr expires in the summer of 2025. Part of the contract is extra bonuses based on achievements on the pitch. Ronaldo was the top goalscorer of Al Nassr and in the Saudi Pro League this past season.
Ronaldo has been treated nicely by Nike, as he was given a football pitch in the past. Unique boots for Ronaldo have been released for him as well, and the Portuguese national team is sponsored by the American brand as well. CR7 is surely earning a lot more now than before with his Al Nassr contract.
EURO 2024 is underway, and Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to play in the tournament. Ronaldo and the Portuguese national team will play against the Czech Republic this Tuesday at the RB Leipzig stadium. Portugal is in Group F, along with Turkey and Georgia.
