Per a blog post from Binance, Cristiano Ronaldo commented:

“My football journey has seen me travel around the world, and I’ve been honored to play for some of the most prestigious clubs out there. Now it’s your turn to join me on that journey too.”

The number of NFTs contained in the new collection won’t be announced until the series launches and there’s so far been no mention of price. However the post did state that the price will be the same for every “Normal NFT” while pricing for the “the final Super Rare NFT” in the collection the collection will differ.

Previous NFT events featuring Cristiano Ronaldo have come with perks outside of the digital realm including a premium experience whereholders were invited to play football with the legend himselfas part of the Binance promotion.

As Cointelegraph reported back in November of 2023, the football superstar wassued in a class action lawsuitin a United States district court in Florida over his previous participation in NFT collection sales with Binance.

The plaintiffs in the suit claimed Ronaldo “promoted, assisted in, and/or actively participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance,” and that he should have known that Binance was involved in such activities.

The suit against Cristiano Renaldo stemmed fromBinance’s previous legal issuesculminating in founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao being found guilty in the U.S. of enabling fraud. He wassentenced in April of 2024 to serve four months in detention for his part in an alleged money laundering scheme.

JosĂ© Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
