Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo signs LIFE contract with Nike

Just days after signing a contract extension with Real Madrid, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo now appears to have signed another major contract -- this time with his sponsor Nike. Ronaldo took part in the unveiling of his new signature cleats over the weekend where he described it as the "best contract of my career." He also suggested that his new deal with the sportswear company is "for life."
According to reports, the deal could be worth over $1 billion.
That's right. That's a ton of cash.
Ronaldo has been a member of the swoosh family since 2003 and along with Brazilian star Neymar, he's one of the faces of the company. The report also suggests exactly what Ronaldo stated on the video above -- that the duration of the deal is similar to NBA superstar LeBron James' lifetime pact.
It's been quite a week for CR7. On Monday, he signed a new contract extension with Real Madrid, and per Forbes, he's the highest paid athlete in the world.
Now that he struck new deal with Nike, this might help him solidify his name atop that list.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte denies mocking Manchester United

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has refuted suggestions that he tried to
"humiliate" Jose Mourinho during the 4-0 win over Manchester United .
Mourinho exchanged heated words with Conte at the final whistle at Stamford Bridge, with Sky Sports reporting that the Portuguese coach was unhappy
with Conte's attempts to encourage the home fans to make more noise with the score at 4-0.
The 53-year-old is reported to have told Conte in Italian: "You don't celebrate like that at 4-0. You can do it at 1-0, otherwise it's humiliating for us."
Speaking after his team's comprehensive win, Conte refused to divulge what Mourinho told him at the final whistle but insisted that his actions were not disrespectful.
"I was a football player, so I know how to behave on the pitch. I have great respect for everyone," he was reported as saying.
"There were United fans who kept singing, while ours were in silence after a great performance from my team. I wanted to call the crowd to applaud the
players, which seems normal enough to me.
"Nothing happened with Jose, especially as my behaviour seemed normal. I didn't make fun of anyone, as I always demand respect.
"If you want to cut the emotions, we can stay at home and I will change jobs. I did something absolutely normal. I didn't do anything to humiliate Mourinho."
Goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante handed Mourinho's heaviest ever Premier League defeat on his first appearance back at Stamford Bridge since being sacked as Chelsea boss last December.
The defeat was also United's biggest in the league since losing 6-1 to Manchester City in 2011.
Mourinho declined to elaborate on his verbal exchange with Conte in the post-match press conference.
"You know me: I spoke to Conte, not to you," the United manager was reported as saying by the Guardian .
"I'm not the kind of guy to come here and share with you things I don't want to share. What is between me and Antonio is for us... of up to him to talk if he wants to. That is his problem. I have no comment."

The truth behind Anthony Martial’s problems under Mourinho for Manchester United

It has been a life-changing last 14 months for Anthony Martial. On his journey from young talent with Monaco to mega-money Manchester United
superstar, the 20-year-old has experienced a number of highlights as well as difficulties the like of which few will ever witness.
This time last year he was United’s great hope, having come off a streak of four goals in his first four games following a transfer from Ligue 1 which may eventually cost the club over 58 million
pounds ($71M). Having seen his price tag grab so much attention, he quickly made his quality apparent as Louis van Gaal’s side began to rely on his ability in front of goal.
It was the kind of form which earned Martial a call- up to the France national team, but his break-out performance against Germany in November was
quickly overshadowed by the Paris terror attacks which had targeted the game itself. For a 19-year- old of any description, this was unchartered territory.
Back in Manchester, things started to change for Martial. Not only did he find his opportunities as a lone striker reduced under Van Gaal, he also found
his private life was of public interest too. When his partner Samantha Jacquelinet mistook the Emirates Stadium for Old Trafford in an Instagram post, it made news across the world. The 20th birthday cake she had made for him depicting Martial at a more accurate Old Trafford also grabbed attention.
His first season at United proved to be mixed, with FA Cup glory offset by failure to reach the Champions League, but his 17 goals in 48 appearances saw him finish top of the club’s scoring charts. It was form which saw him secure a
spot in Didier Deschamps’ Euro 2016 squad, but again there was disappointment as France lost the home final to Portugal.
In all Anthony Martial's main drop in form have been attributed to a lot of things including that his girlfriend and him are no longer together and all other uncorroborated reports but sincerely I hope the lad returns to form.
