Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has proceeded with legal action against former club Juventus over unpaid wages, MoneycentralNg reports.
The former Manchester United goal-poacher spent three years in Turin – is demanding to be repaid the €19.9m net that he was promised by Juventus when he agreed to defer his wages during the early months of the COVID pandemic.
These deferred wages are part of Juventus’ now-infamous ‘salary manoeuvres’, which are the subject of the ongoing Prisma legal case.
After requesting the relevant documents from the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office, Ronaldo has now decided to take legal action against Juventus, causing another headache for the Old Lady.
Also, 36-year-old Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci, recently launched legal action against the club, requesting damages after he was unceremoniously frozen out of Massimiliano Allegri’s squad.
Paulo Dybala, on the other hand, has reached an agreement with Juventus regarding the circa €3m he was owed. He has now dropped his lawsuit regarding compensation for the failure to extend his contract following their initial verbal agreement.
