•After £500,000 a week Real deal CRISTIANO RONAL DO has agreed a new lifetime contract with sports giant Nike that will earn him an astonishing £1billion. Only a day after putting pen to paper on a new contract with Real Madrid until 2021 that will see him pocket £500,000 a week after tax, Nike have moved swiftly to get their man. A spokesperson for Nike said: “The successful partnership between Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo will continue well into the future with a new, long-term contract. “Ronaldo is having yet another incredible year, for both club and country, and is unquestionably an icon of the game.
