Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus are embroiled in an ongoing legal conflict that is yet to be resolved. Neither side could come to an agreement during the hearing before the FIGC Arbitration Board on October 4. Meanwhile, CR7 may face a setback in the final ruling, while Juventus remains steadfast that they do not have any unpaid wages following their investigation.

Previously, the Portuguese superstar reportedly agreed to defer wages to assist Juventus during the coronavirus pandemic. The Italian giants agreed to settle the remaining wages after the stability of their financial situation. Cristiano Ronaldo initiated legal proceedings against Bianconeri after they still hadn’t paid him the outstanding salary from over two years ago.

The Old Lady believes that they owe no outstanding dues to Cristiano Ronaldo. The club’s statement clarifies that he entered into an agreement that he had no financial obligation before his departure. The Portuguese legend initiated two court trials regarding this matter. However, Juventus seems to be in a superior position after CR7’s $21.2 million claim is found to be ‘unfounded’ according to their reports.

Here’s Juventus’ position on the controversial case, “At the outcome of the investigations carried out, also with the support of its consultants, the company considers the claims made by the former player in both the first and second claim to be unfounded and, therefore, has not deemed it necessary to set aside any provision for risks”, as compiled by Tuttosport and translated by DeepL.
