Cristiano Ronaldo can soon be reunited with a former Juventus teammate. There’s a dedicated focus on revamping the Turin club. Bringing in new talents is the first part of the process, the second part is to end terms with aging players. The former Porto player has found his name on the list.
The relationship between CR7 and Juve has turned sour. Ronaldo has sent a $21.2 million lawsuit to Juventus over the concern of unpaid wages. The situation seems to be taking a new turn after details suggest there is no foul pay and the wages were paid to each member of the team in full.

Juan Cuadrado left Juve to join rivals Inter Milan. Inter Milan currently sits at the top of the Serie A table with 15 points and winning all their 5 league fixtures. Both Sandro and Cuadrado were part of the esteemed Juventus team that reached the 2017 Champions League final. The departure of Sandro will mark the end of an era for the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo had bittersweet spell at the Turin-based club. He helped the team secure many trophies but Champions League glory was the only cup that he couldn’t clinch. Things have now taken a bitter turn as Juventus has brought new details to light following Ronaldo’s lawsuit.

Juventus finds itself embroiled in a dispute with Cristiano Ronaldo. The club asserts that all pending wages owed to its players have been duly settled. Ronaldo, however, is not of the same opinion. The enigma lies in the fact that Ronaldo has refrained from signing the agreement and the rationale behind his decision remains shrouded in mystery. Ronaldo faces a challenging road ahead in his pursuit of unpaid wages citing the absence of his signature.
The club has presented a crucial piece of evidence in the form of a document that Cristiano Ronaldo signed during his transfer to Manchester United in 2021. Ronaldo explicitly affirmed that there were no outstanding financial matters between him and Juventus in the document. The Bianconeri strongly maintain that this specific document absolves them entirely of any financial responsibility towards Ronaldo.
