Juventus have confirmed they are lodging an appeal against the €9.8m they have been ordered to pay Cristiano Ronaldo over unpaid wages.
The confirmation was spotted in the paperwork released today following the meeting of the board of directors.
Deep within the many pages released by the club, there was a note announcing Juventus have lodged an appeal on September 26 2024 to the Work Section of the Turin Tribunal.
Cristiano Ronaldo row with Juventus
The situation erupted when Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus on transfer deadline day to join Manchester United in August 2021.
He signed a release form confirming that the club did not owe him any more money, although he was still due some outstanding wages.
The striker appealed and it was partially successful in April 2024, ruling that Juventus had to pay €9.8m to the Portuguese player.
There was some confusion around the situation, because these were wages that Cristiano Ronaldo had formally ‘given up’ to help the club get through the pandemic in 2020.
However, it later emerged that many of the players had behind the scenes agreed to be paid those wages in different forms, through bonuses and sponsorship deals.
