"A labour court in Turin dismissed on Monday Juve's appeal and Ronaldo will not have to pay back the €9.75m ($11.4m) he already received, plus interest. Moreover, Juve will have to cover all legal costs, which are around €80,000 ($86,000). An arbitration tribunal had ruled in April 2024 that Juve had to pay half of the sum €19.5m ($20.81m) requested by the Portugal captain for outstanding wages relating to a pay cut agreed during the COVID-19 pandemic."
"Juventus can still appeal to a higher court and the club told ESPN that the club's legal team will examine the ruling in the coming days to decide whether or not to do so. Ronaldo, now captain of Al Nassr, joined Juventus in August 2018 and helped the club win back-to-back Serie A titles, and an Italian Cup and two Super Cups, before returning to Manchester United in August 2021."
Juventus lost a Turin labour court appeal, so Cristiano Ronaldo will not have to repay €9.75m he already received, plus interest. Juventus must cover legal costs of about €80,000. An April 2024 arbitration tribunal had already ruled Juventus owed half of €19.5m requested by Ronaldo for outstanding wages linked to a COVID-19 pay cut. The amount had already been paid and set aside in the 2023-24 budget, so the ruling will not negatively affect Juventus' financial performance. Juventus can still appeal to a higher court. Ronaldo played for Juventus from August 2018 until August 2021.
