Cristiano Ronaldo has to be in a sour mood with all that’s happened around him in the past 48 hours. The Al Nassr skipper had a night to forget against Al Hilal earlier this Monday after being sent off the field for losing his calm. Well, it looks like his temper won’t be coming down anytime soon, with the player reportedly receiving a massive financial setback from the Italian courts!

Okay, let’s take a short drip down the memory lane. Turin was on cloud nine in 2019, with Juventus securing the services of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. The Portuguese superstar had a great run with the club, helping the team secure 2 Serie A titles, 2 Italian Super Cups, and 1 Italian Cup. However, the fairytale run had a nightmare finish, with Cristiano parting ways with the club on rough terms.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very vocal about his frustrations with the club following his departure, with the player suing the club for withholding his unpaid wages during his time at the club. In his lawsuit, Cristiano claimed that Juventus owed him around $20.8 million in unpaid wages, with a majority of the amount accumulating during the pandemic. However, Juventus has stood their ground in the case, with the club reporting that the player had signed a no-dues clause at the time of his departure. It seems like the court might rule in their favor, with rumors suggesting Cristiano might have already lost the case!

Italian court set to issue ruling in Cristiano Ronaldo vs Juventus lawsuit in the coming weeks

A financial arbitration commission managed by the high court in Turin will issue its verdict in the coming weeks in the high-profile case. According to reports from the Italian media outlet Tuttosport, it probably looks like Juventus might have an upper hand over their former player in the legal battle. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a document during his move to Manchester United in 2021, declaring he had no dues with the club. The document has been Juventus’s substantial asset in the case and could see them win the stretched-out lawsuit.

Reports also suggest that Cristiano and Juventus had an agreement during the pandemic that saw the player give up on three months of his wages during the pandemic. It seems like Cristiano believes it was just a temporary agreement to alleviate the club’s financial burden. Nevertheless, Juventus has successfully demonstrated that they are not legally obligated to do so.
