Portugal sponsors after Cristiano Ronaldo

Sponsors were never really there for the badge. Word is Portugal's commercial income could drop by almost 40% once Cristiano Ronaldo hangs it up, and the federation knows it. Some backers would walk away completely. Others would stay on paper but slash what they pay. The plan to make Bruno Fernandes, João Neves, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes the new faces of the project hasn't landed with everyone. Plenty of those deals were built around CR7 and nothing else. That's a rough spot to be stuck in when the whole pitch was one guy.
