LEAKED: Here Is What Nike Pays Cristiano Ronaldo
Sep 7, 2019, by Chris
In 2016, Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo announced that they extended their long-standing and successful partnership. Now it has been revealed how much the Nike CR7 deal is worth.
This news comes from a pre-print of the current issue of German news weekly SPIEGEL, which has published excerpts from the new book "Football Leaks 2 - New Revelations from the World of Professional Football".
"I have a great relationship with the brand and good friends in the company," CR7 said about Nike during his "golden" contract renewal in 2016. "We're a family, that's my brand."
Cristiano Ronaldo Receives 16 Million Euro / Year For 10-Year Nike Deal Signed in 2016
Cristiano Ronaldo is to receive 162 million Euro for 10 years (16 million Euro / year) from the US sporting goods group Nike as advertising partner. This is the result of a draft contract between Nike and Polaris Sports Limited in Dublin, which owns the worldwide marketing rights of the professional soccer player.
The Portuguese superstar's agreement with Nike is scheduled to run from September 2016 to mid-2026.
However, the 16 million per year limit is not the limit of what CR7 can get from Nike. If Cristiano Ronaldo wins the FIFA World Player Of The Year award, he will receive an additional four million per year from Nike.
Polaris Sports did not respond to a request for a statement. Ronaldos consultant Jorge Mendes and his agency Gestifute did not comment. The company Nike said on request: "We do not comment on contracts with athletes".

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?

German club VfL Osnabrück have unveiled a special kit for their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against FC Bayern Munich.

The Osnabrück 26-27 DFB-Pokal special shirt closely mirrors the clean aesthetic worn during that historic 1978 triumph. Predominantly white, it features a bold retro polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs in Osnabrück's signature purple.
Completing the look, the special edition kit is paired with matching white shorts and socks accented by purple detailing. The kit will be worn exclusively during the home cup tie against Bayern Munich at the Bremer Brücke and is available through the club's official retail channels.
