Nike alright with Ronaldinho move
|
Nike Italy says there's no way they would block Ronaldinho's move from Barcelona to AC Milan.
There had been reports that Nike would be unhappy seeing Ronaldinho join a club that they weren't involved with, but Nike Italy chief Marco Dellera says the player's new clothing label, 10R, would not be affected should he leave Barca.
Dellera said: "Nobody doubts that the relationship will be stronger if Ronie stays with Barcelona, but there is no obstacle on the part of our company that the Brazilian can sign for a club that does not wear our clothes. When having already his own line, we cannot place an impediment, it all depends on him."
The latest development this week is that adidas-sponsored Milan are willing to hand Ronaldinho 100 per cent of his image rights, plus a salary of £8 million to quit Barca at the end of this season.
