Some reports claim he violated his contract with Nike when he wore Adidas shin pads when Al Nassr played against Celta Vigo in a friendly match. Al Nassr did not bring their A-Game on as they lost the game 5-0. The fans in the stands were quick to note that Ronaldo was seen wearing Addidas shin pads during the game. This gave a lot of uproars saying whether Ronaldo has flouted his Nike Contract.

As per reports, it is believed that Ronaldo signed a lifetime contract with Nike which was worth 1 Billion Pounds way back in 2016 with the company. With the fracas committed, it will be worthwhile to see how the entire situation pans out. According to a report from SportsBible. Ronaldo had donned an Addidas jumper previously in a very famous Nike advertisement. The report said that the Addidas logo was taken out and later replaced with a Nike logo.

Wherever I go, I generate higher interest – Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo spoke about the progress of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) and also his impact on it. When Ronaldo switched bases from Manchester United to Al Nassr, interest in the league has gone through the roof, It has also helped that along with Ronaldo many other major football superstars have also signed up for the league. Ronaldo spoke to Fabrizio Romano about his switch to Saudi Arabia and how it has changed the dynamics of football in the region.

“They criticized me for coming to Saudi League, but what happened now? I opened the way and now all the players are coming here. My decision to join Saudi clubs was 100% crucial to bring in new top players. It’s a fact. When I joined Juventus, Serie A was dead, and then after I signed, it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes, he generates higher interest.” He said to Romano. Ronaldo was very buoyant about the SPL making it big in football circles and it looks like it could come true.
