Hisense to Replace Pirelli at Inter?
Rumors about Hisense becoming the new Inter jersey sponsor were fueled today as the company liked a tweet speculating about the possible partnership between the Italian club and the Chinese electronics maker.
Proof of the like was shared by the original author of the Tweet, @_MIM__10.
Allora è un vizio, credo non ci siano più dubbi.

Hisense alongside Samsung has been one of the main options to become the new sponsor. I remains to be seen what will happen, but as reported in Italy, the club are looking to bring in between €25 and €35 million per season from the new sponsor - a difficult task.
Inter fan and kit designer @rupertalbe shared a set of Inter x Hisense concept kits earlier today, giving us a better idea of what the logo would look like on them.
In other, possibly unrelated, news, Inter legend Marco Materazzi was today announced as a brand ambassador for Hisense to tie in with the company's Euro 2020 sponsorship.

Nike Confirms Release of Gold Mercurial CR7 2026 World Cup Boots
Nike has officially confirmed the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, special-edition signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the American sportswear giant will launch a spectacular all-gold Mercurial specifically designed for the Portuguese superstar. This exclusive release is scheduled to drop just before Portugal kicks off their opening group-stage match.
The decision to equip the forward in a striking all-gold colorway is a deliberate and symbolic tribute by the brand's design team. Speaking on the upcoming launch to The Athletic, Nike representative Odinga Nimako, a senior figure at Nike’s global football footwear team, explained the specific reasoning behind the glamorous aesthetic. "The fact that Ronaldo is playing his sixth World Cup, we wanted to celebrate the legacy he has set and the way he continues to add to his legacy," Nimako stated. "And there is no better color than gold to help do that."
It remains to be see if Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the golden boots in a match - we expect him to wear them in training only.
