JAKARTA - There are many sportsmen who not only get money by competing, but also outside the stadium. One example is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has several successful businesses such as gyms, restaurants, and even hair implant clinics.

Now, Iker Casillas, who after retiring, decided to step forward and seek luck in other businesses outside of sports. The last deal signed by this former footballer is a contract with an online broker.

XTB, the company that signed Casillas, announced the deal on all of their platforms and so did former Real Madrid and Porto goalkeepers.

"I am very proud to join XTB, one of the most important companies in stock market investment," Casillas was quoted as saying by Marca on Tuesday.

"In football, like in finance, you need training, good friends, and a winning mentality."

Casillas will not be alone in this new project, as UFC fighter Conor McGregor has also announced joining the company. He even uploaded messages similar to Casillas.

"I am delighted to be the official ambassador to XTB. I believe that the same characteristics are needed in sport and investment: commitment, mentality, and personal determination," the Irish man told his followers.

This new initiative from online brokerage brands aims to attract the attention of sportsmen and women and develop their clients' bases.
