Cristiano Ronaldo will sue former club Juventus for unpaid wages

Cristiano Ronaldo has allegedly decided to take legal actions against his former team Juventus for unpaid wages in the Covid-19 pandemic.

During that period the Old Lady was struggling financially and most of the players agreed to defer their salaries. However, personal agreements were made with each player and in the case of Ronaldo, they seem to not have been fulfilled.

The 38-year-old has decided that the club should return him the money it owes him, which is in the region of 20 million euros.

🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo is now set to sue Juventus for not paying him an amount of €19.9M as they had tried to save finances during the COVID era.

Ronaldo has already spoken to the Turin Prosecutor’s Office about the situation and he took the decision to take action after that.… pic.twitter.com/Z7jxtly2uN
