Cristiano Ronaldo is currently embroiled in the concluding phases of his legal confrontation with Juventus over an amount totaling €19.5 million in purportedly outstanding remuneration. The Portuguese football luminary has been engaged in a legal contention with the Bianconeri since September of the preceding year. This dispute ensued subsequent to his directive for legal recourse against the club, instigated by his legal representatives, pertaining to approximately €19.5 million in deferred compensation. These remittances are associated with the club’s remuneration strategy implemented during the 2020-2021 season.
Ronaldo legal battle
Ronaldo has persistently pursued the deferred payment of his salary subsequent to his departure from Juventus. However, the club remains resolute in its decision not to fulfill his request, asserting confidence in its stance.
Upon the Portuguese forward’s departure to Manchester United in August 2021, a contractual agreement was reached wherein Ronaldo confirmed that Juventus had no outstanding financial obligations to him. Notably, he did not formally agree to the salary deferral proposed during the 2020-21 season.
According to reports from Tuttosport via TMW, Ronaldo and his legal representatives have escalated the matter to the Arbitration Panel, awaiting a response no later than April 22nd, although a decision could potentially be rendered as early as the forthcoming week. Juventus remains steadfast in its position, asserting the meritlessness of Ronaldo’s claims.
