Juventus Confirms Appeal Against Cristiano Ronaldo Payment
In a move that’s been expected for some time, Juventus has confirmed that it’s lodging an appeal against the €9.8m it was ordered to pay Cristiano Ronaldo over unpaid wages. The news comes from the paperwork released by the club following its recent board of directors meeting.
The appeal was lodged on September 26, 2024, to the Work Section of the Turin Tribunal. This development marks the latest chapter in a long-standing dispute between Juventus and the Portuguese superstar, who left the club in August 2021 to join Manchester United.
The situation took a dramatic turn in April 2024, when Cristiano Ronaldo’s appeal was partially successful. The ruling ordered Juventus to pay the striker €9.8m, sparking confusion around the situation. You see, Cristiano Ronaldo had previously signed a release form confirming that the club didn’t owe him any more money, although he was still due some outstanding wages.
So, what’s the real story here? Well, it turns out that many of the players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, had agreed to be paid those wages in different forms, through bonuses and sponsorship deals. This meant that the club didn’t technically owe the player any money, but the Portuguese superstar was still due payment.
Juventus’ decision to appeal this ruling raises some interesting questions. Are they trying to avoid paying out the cash, or is this just a standard procedure in these types of situations? One thing’s for sure, this saga has been a wild ride for all parties involved.
