US EditionCristiano Ronaldo Wins Huge Financial Court Case Against Former Club
Juventus must pay €9.8 million to Cristiano Ronaldo after a court ruled their unpaid COVID-19 wages claim invalid, covering half of the €19.6 million sought.
- On Jan 20, 2026, a labour court in Turin dismissed Juventus' appeal, confirming Cristiano Ronaldo will not repay the �9.75m he already received.
- After leaving for Manchester United in 2021, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed he was owed �19.6 million; an April 2024 tribunal awarded half amid a COVID-19 pay-cut dispute.
- The Bianconeri had already paid �9.8 million and duly did so prior to this appeal, and those payments were recorded in the 2023-24 budget, so the ruling will not hit that season's performance.
- Juventus must cover legal costs of �80,000 , and Juventus' legal team will consider higher court options.
- Several clubs reached wage-deferral deals during the COVID period, and Juventus was one that deferred but did not cancel pay; Ronaldo's claim and the ongoing saga could influence similar disputes involving players entitled to deferred payments.
