cristiano ronaldoLegal action launched against Italy’s Juventus, demanding €20 million in damages from Turin entity Italian media said today that the company owes him wages during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Portuguese, who plays for Al Nasr in Saudi Arabia, hopes to recover the 20 million euros in unpaid wages he should have received for the 2020-2021 season.
Cristiano claims to be a millionaire at Juventus.
The Portuguese agreed to receive the payment at a later date to help the Italian coach overcome financial difficulties related to the pandemic and the temporary suspension of Serie A.
Ronaldo believes that the Turin club still owes him money, with arrears of wages of 20 million euros, but for Juventus, the player signed a document agreeing to give up part of his salary for the 2020-2021 season, and there is no reason to return anything.
In May last year, Juventus was fined 718,240 euros for late payment of player wages after receiving a 10-point discount from the league due to accounting fraud on player transfers.
