Juventus has decided to appeal Cristiano Ronaldo’s ruling. This move comes after the recent decision from the arbitration panel, which ordered Juventus to pay the player 9.8 million euros in back pay, instead of the requested 19.5 million. The ruling stated that Juventus was not trying to deceive the player with salary tactics, but held the club responsible for Ronaldo’s loss of income, reducing the compensation by half since Ronaldo did not request it. In response, Juventus highlighted that the arbitration panel acknowledged that the contractual amendments with Ronaldo were not binding and rejected his claims of contract nullification, terming it as a pre-contractual responsibility due to the negotiation’s breakdown.
The club has already paid a portion of the amount owed to CR7, excluding interests and taxes, while Ronaldo’s side is seeking the full gross amount, around 12 million euros. Following a thorough analysis of the ruling and consultation with legal advisors, Juventus has decided to file a counterclaim with the Court of Turin. The club believes that the arbitration panel only established Juventus’ pre-contractual responsibility resulting from the negotiation’s failure. The upcoming legal proceedings will shed more light on the complex financial dispute between the Italian giants and their star forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
As the legal battle intensifies, both parties are gearing up for a showdown in the courtroom to resolve the financial disagreement. Juventus aims to defend its position, emphasizing that the arbitration has not proven any malicious intent on the club’s part. With Ronaldo seeking the full amount owed to him, the upcoming legal proceedings are set to provide further clarity on the matter. Stay tuned as the legal drama between Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo unfolds in the coming weeks, shaping the future financial relationship between one of football’s most prestigious clubs and their iconic player.
