It's about to be announced officially in a few hours.

Ronaldo has just tweeted "More sports in my life. Now it's all-in!" (https://twitter.com/ClaroRonaldo), and a lot of other clues about it have been popping recently. Leo Fernandez, Humberto Brenes, Akkari, and other PS-related people have replied/retweeted it.

He's probably gonna be the ambassador for the Brazilian market (though he's also a known name worldwide).

ps. nothing has been announced officially yet.

Games are tough enough as it is without having a load more Brazilians signing up.

Amazing that they could sign a guy that makes 15 million a year and is worth 150 million. I guess he likes poker. Great signing.

If Ronaldo gets the same deal as Rafa he won't need to play a single hand. Just a few photos staring at an iPad with a 'wtf is this' look on his face.

Absolute legend, brings back memories of my friends ragequitting when I scored 40 yarders with him in 2002 fifa world cup. And of course stuff like this
