<p>Portuguese superstar Ronaldo <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-juventus-al-nassr-superstar-eur10m-unpaid-wages/blt164f3dbf6d4b8cab" target="_blank">took the Bianconeri to court over alleged unpaid wages</a>. He claimed to have been owed a considerable sum on the back of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/score-break-all-records-always-win-what-cristiano-ronaldo-like-team-mate-juventus-giorgio-chiellini-goat-debate/bltd13f548ae4f0674e" target="_blank">spending three years in Turin between 2018 and 2021</a> – when he left Italy and returned to Manchester United.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A court ruled in Ronaldo’s favour, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-wins-legal-dispute-juventus-eur20m-frozen-wages/blt15b07735fcc99978#cs27616dc83d8382cb" target="_blank">Juve instructed to pay half of what was owed</a> while CR7 picked up the bill for the other 50%. The Bianconeri consider that matter to have been closed financially, with there no need for them to set aside any more funds.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>President Ferrero told a recent shareholders’ meeting when asked about any money still owed to the club’s former No.7: "We paid Cristiano Ronaldo in April, there’s no need for any risk fund. We paid 50% of the amount he requested, so there’s no need for a risk fund because the amounts have been paid."</p>

WHAT JUVENTUS' PRESIDENT SAID

<p>While Juve have cleared their debt, they are still hoping to receive some reimbursement. Having contested the original claims from Ronaldo, Ferrero added: "We don’t agree with this ruling, which established an equal division of responsibilities, so we’ve appealed it at the Turin court."</p>
