Juventus ordered to pay Ronaldo ₦23 billion after losing court case

Faruq Ibrahim 22:53 - 17.04.2024

Cristiano Ronaldo's legal victory against Juventus results in the club having to reimburse €19.5 million in unpaid wages.

In a major legal development, Cristiano Ronaldo's lawyers have successfully won a case against Italian Serie A club Juventus. This victory entails Juventus reimbursing €19.5 million in unpaid wages to Ronaldo for his time at the club.

The legal battle, led by Ronaldo's legal team comprising John Shehata, Emanuele Guastalla, and Fabio Iudica, marks a significant win for the football star.

Legal Triumph for Ronaldo

The court ruling has mandated Juventus to fulfil their financial obligations towards Cristiano Ronaldo by paying the €19.5 million owed to him in wages. The dispute arose from Juventus' failure to honour the monthly payments that were deferred during the lockdown, a move that the club never rectified by compensating Ronaldo.

This legal triumph showcases the meticulous legal prowess of Ronaldo's legal representation, reinforcing the importance of contractual integrity in professional sports.

Impact on Juventus and Players' Rights

Juventus' financial setback highlights the consequences of overlooking contractual commitments. It is also reported that Juventus do not have a budgetary allocation for this payment, as they expected to win the case.

Furthermore, Paulo Dybala also has a lawsuit filed against Juventus for a similar issue. This legal precedent not only secures Ronaldo's rights but also sets a crucial standard for respecting players' financial entitlements within the industry.
