Despite leaving Juventus over a year ago, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo still has some unresolved issues with the club.
As we all know by now, the bianconeri are in the midst of a storm over alleged financial irregularities related to capital gains and salary manoeuvres.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Calciomercato, Juventus still owe Ronaldo up to 19 million euros in unpaid wages during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As the source explains, the management at that time deferred a part of the players’ salaries to the next financial years, while promising to pay regardless of whether the players stayed with the club or left.
The report claims that the Portuguese has a copy of the document that reveals the amount. The original copy was supposed to be deposited in the club’s balance sheet for the 2020/21 season, but investigators reportedly found it in the office of a Juventus lawyer.
The source believes that the player’s legal team is now looking at all possibilities before launching a push to recover the amount.
Furthermore, Juventus is also in debt to Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, according to the same report.
In an email sent by the club’s sports director, Federico Cherubini, last October, an amount of 6.7 million euros was mentioned, probably in relation to unpaid commissions.
