Cristiano Ronaldo Wins Court Case Against Juventus

Juventus have reportedly been ordered to pay Cristiano Ronaldo £8.3M after losing an arbitration case to their former player

Recall that Ronaldo – who now plays for Saudi side Al-Nassr recently decided to take legal action against Juventus over unpaid wages during the Covid-19 pandemic.

CR7 wanted to be paid £17M, the net amount that he was promised by the club when he agreed to defer his wages during lockdown, but according to Gazzetta, the arbitration tribunal has ruled that Ronaldo and Juventus share responsibility over the matter, so the club should pay half of the deferred wages.

The 38-year-old left Juventus in August 2021 after spending three seasons at the club, where he scored 101 goals in 134 appearances.

WOW.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro GOIH ComM is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club, Al Nassr and the Portugal national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in the São Pedro parish of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and grew up in the nearby parish of Santo António. He is the fourth and youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Viveiros da Aveiro, who worked as a cook in the hospitality industry and a cleaning woman, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener at the Junta de Freguesia of Santo António and part-time kit man for football club Andorinha.

Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United was completed on 12 August 2003, too late for the 2003 FA Community Shield but in time for their game against Bolton Wanderers on the opening day of the 2003–04 season, and made him the first Portuguese player to sign for the club.

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million). His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.
