Juventus will have to play former player Cristiano Ronaldo almost €10 million ($10.6 million), an Italian court ruled on Wednesday.
Ronaldo, who now plays at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, won a lawsuit against his former club over a salary dispute during the Covid-19 pandemic. The case concerns payments that were deferred during the 2020-2021 season.
Due to the pandemic, several football teams had financial losses. Ronaldo was among players who had salaries deferred, but he later went to court and demanded almost €20 million.
Juventus insisted that Ronaldo had waived his salary voluntarily at the time.
Ronaldo played for Juventus from 2018 to 2021 before moving to Manchester United and eventually to Al Nassr.
