This is the salary Juventus still owes Ronaldo under a delayed payment agreement for the 2020-2021 season. At that time, Ronaldo and Juventus agreed to defer the salary. That was the period when all football activities in Italy were suspended for 105 days due to the COVID-19 epidemic (from March 9 to June 22, 2020).
After receiving the request from the Italian Football Federation, Juventus immediately responded: "We will review the decision. The delay in paying wages is not a sign of fraud and there was no pressure on Ronaldo to sign a salary reduction agreement."
Ronaldo wins lawsuit against former club.
Initially, Ronaldo asked Juventus for 20 million euros in compensation. However, after an investigation, the FIGC asked Juventus to pay 9.7 million euros, plus interest and processing fees. 9.7 million euros is the actual salary Ronaldo can receive after taxes and other deductions.
Ronaldo spent 3 seasons with Juventus (from 2018 to 2021), scoring 101 goals in 134 matches, winning 2 Serie A titles, 1 national cup and 2 Italian Super Cups. Ronaldo's career in Turin was controversial when he could not help the "Old Lady" go deep in the Champions League. The best achievement of the black and white striped club with CR7 was only reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup.
In the summer of 2021, Ronaldo was sold by Juventus to Man Utd for a fee of 17 million euros, paid in installments. When Ronaldo returned to England, Juventus also ignored the salary owed to the Portuguese player.
Before Ronaldo, Juventus was also sued by former player Paulo Dybala. The Turin team also owed the Argentine striker wages during the pandemic and had to pay back more than 3 million euros.
