Juventus Ordered to Pay Ronaldo €10million

An arbitration court has ruled that Juventus must pay former striker Cristiano Ronaldo approximately €9.8 million (USD $10.46 million) in unpaid wages.

The Serie A club confirmed on Wednesday that it is currently reviewing the court’s decision.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who now plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, had originally claimed he was owed around €19.5 million (USD $20.81 million) in outstanding wages by Juventus. These unpaid wages were related to a pay cut agreed upon during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The arbitration board has verified the legitimacy of Ronaldo’s compensation reduction agreement concerning the 2020/21 season,” Juventus stated.

The arbitration tribunal decided that Juventus must pay half of the amount Ronaldo had initially requested.

Ronaldo joined Juventus in August 2018 and played a key role in the club’s success, helping them secure two consecutive Serie A titles, an Italian Cup, and two Super Cups. He left Italy in 2021 to join Manchester United.
