Former Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to receive €9.74 million as unpaid taxes and considerations.

During his three-season stay at the club between 2018 and 2021, the 39-year-old didn't receive a part of his monthly payment - as part of salary maneuvers (as per Gazzetta.it) - and was never paid that sum.

Ronaldo's lawyers - John Shehata, Emanuele Guastalla, Fabio Iudica and Salvatore Pino - won the dispute between the player and the Bianconeri. The aforementioned amount also includes interest on the pending payment.

It's not immediately known if the Serie A giants contest the ruling or accept it. In the second case, they would be hit with a significant financial blow, as they haven't set aside any pending payment to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo - now at Al-Nassr - arrived at Juventus in the summer of 2018 after an eventful nine-season spell at Real Madrid, where he netted a scarechely believable 450 goals in 438 games across competitions.

In 2021, he left for a second stint at Manchester United, where he lasted one and a half seasons before joining his current side, Al-Nassr, on a free transfer in December 2022.
