Real Madrid president
Florentino Perez faces a
sponsorship headache with £80 million man Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sport says Ronaldo's
commitment to American sportswear giants Nike is set to cause major
anxiety in the front office of adidas sponsored Real Madrid.
Ronaldo appeared for his
medical last week at Real sporting a big Nike swoosh on his
t-shirt, much to the frustration of Real directors. Nike see
Ronaldo as their star man and
their aggressive push is unlikely to be reigned in after his move
to Madrid.
Real's other Galacticos, Kaka
and Karim Benzema, are both adidas sponsored.
