A spokesperson for Nike told SunSport: “The successful partnership between Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo will continue well into the future with a new, long-term contract”.

Ronaldo said earlier this week that he felt he could perform for 10 more years and he underlined his desire to close out his playing days in Madrid.
Piece by piece, Florentino Perez is making sure Real Madrid remains a top contender. According to American magazine Forbes, Ronaldo trumped Messi in 2016 with an income of $88 million (80 million euros, £71 million).
“Of course, I gave him a lot of assists!”
For Ronaldo himself, he explained.
“They have specific people that work with me”. We have to make mathematically certain and the result against Sporting is going to be very important. This club is in my heart.
Carvajal feels Ronaldo still has a few good years in him, backing him to win the Ballon d’Or this time around, but has little doubt Bale will step up when the time is right. Football does not have a memory but you, president, and Real Madrid do.
Ozil played alongside Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid before he secured a transfer to Arsenal from the Spanish club in the summer of 2013.
“The votes don’t depend on me so I can not be obsessed about whether I’m going to win or whether I deserve to win”, he said.
As for his successes so far, well he was hungry for more. He is, of course, now in charge of the Portuguese national side and led them to Euro 2016 glory this summer with the aid of Ronaldo on the touchline in the final.
“But then we played them [United] and everyone knows what happened”.

Cristiano Ronaldo thinks it is unlikely there will ever be a player just like him, while he is adamant the Ballon d’Or is not an obsession.
