They said they were deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations facing the Juventus star after a woman filed a lawsuit alleging she was raped by Ronaldo in 2009. Although, Ronaldo has repeatedly denied the claims.
Nike said: “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.”
