Court orders Juventus To Pay Ronaldo €9.7m In Back Salary

An Italian court has ordered Juventus to pay Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo €9.7 million in back wages for the 2020-21 season.

The Court of Arbitration, to which Ronaldo appealed, "orders Juventus Turin to pay the sum of €9 774 166.66", plus interest and procedural costs, it stated in its decision.

The sum equates to the difference between the salary actually received by Ronaldo and that which he should have received after tax and other deductions.

Ronaldo, who spent three seasons in Italy with Juventus (2018-21) before joining Manchester United (2021-22) and then the Saudi club Al Nassr, was claiming €19.5 million but the arbitration panel reduced that by 50 per cent.
