Ronaldo wins legal dispute against former club over €20m frozen wages

The Portugal international took the Serie A side to court last year over wages that were unpaid during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Juventus players agreed to defer four months’ worth of their salaries in March 2020 and April 2021 as the club struggled financially during that period.

However, Ronaldo wanted to be paid £17.15m ($21.3m) in deferred wages – known as ‘salary manoeuvres’ – and now La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the 39-year-old has won that battle with Juventus.

Report added that Juventus never had a budget set aside for this money and it remains to be seen how Ronaldo will be paid.

Ronaldo joined Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018 and went on to score 101 goals in 134 appearances in all competitions.
