Just now, according to the exact news brought by the Italian media Milan Sport. There is an update on the legal dispute between Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus' salary tangle. In a recent lawsuit filed by the Grape Player, the Court of Arbitration for Sport handed down a final verdict, with Juventus and Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo each taking half of the blame. In other words, Ronaldo wants to get half of the 19.8 million euros in arrears of salary. One in and one out lost about 10 million euros.
In fact, it is no secret that Ronaldo wants this salary back. The cause of the incident can be traced back to the epidemic, when the major European giants were generally not financially rich due to empty games and a series of other reasons. At that time, in order to ensure that the team balances its balance and maintain normal financial operations. The vast majority of the big clubs demanded a pay cut for their players, and Juventus took similar measures at the time. Juventus players, led by grape star Cristiano Ronaldo, generally cut their salaries by about 40%.
However, what I didn't expect was that the stars of other big teams really took a salary cut, but Juventus only cut their salaries on the surface. Because privately, between then-president Agnelli and Juventus' players, an agreement was signed (verbal) to pretend to reduce salaries and then defer payments. The agreement clearly states that stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala claim that they will take a 40% pay cut during the pandemic, but in fact Juventus will pay them in batches in the future. In other words, the 40% salary cut on the surface is just a means used by Juventus to balance the accounts, and in reality no one will take less money.
As a result, there were problems with payment after the fact, and Ronaldo's relationship with the team was very strained in his third year at Juventus. Juventus struggled with a sudden move to Manchester United just days before the transfer window closed. Because at that time, the Portuguese star had been claiming that he would stay at Juventus, but he did not expect him to leave suddenly. Such a move then caused him problems, as Juventus said that all the agreements promised before were not counted, and Ronaldo's 19.8 million euros were not received.
This has sparked several rounds of entanglement between the two sides in the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and in recent years Ronaldo has been tasked with the relevant team to file a lawsuit, but the first few times have been fruitless. After all, this agreement is only a verbal agreement, and there is no written document. This makes it much more difficult for Ronaldo to recover his salary. To a certain extent, this kind of oral agreement can only be said to be tacitly agreed by everyone, and there is a lack of sufficient documentary evidence to recover the full amount. Perhaps it was Ronaldo's sudden departure before the transfer window that made the Juventus management unhappy, in short, the money has not been paid, and the two sides have had an ugly quarrel.
However, according to the current situation, there is finally a break at this time. Objectively speaking, this result of two sides bearing half of the responsibility is acceptable to both sides. During the special period, it is a common phenomenon for players of major teams to reduce their salaries. But Juve had promised the stars that they would pay next. At this time, it is understandable for them to shell out more than 9 million euros to Ronaldo. After all, since it has been promised, it is not good to pay the bills after all. What's more, it paid close to 10 million euros less, so why not? At the same time, for Ronaldo's side, it doesn't matter if the Portuguese star's income level at this stage is 10 million less. Because his net salary alone can exceed $200 million a year.
And this kind of salary bargaining without substantial paper evidence was difficult to succeed in the past, and Ronaldo was able to recover his losses as much as possible, which is already a surprise. And after the results came out, the two sides no longer had to continue to pull over the salary of 19.8 million euros, and both sides begged for peace. So in your opinion, who is right and who is wrong in this salary dispute between Juventus and Ronaldo?
