“I Want My Money Back” – After Cristiano Ronaldo’s $21 Million Demand, FIFA WC Champion Paulo Dybala Threatens Legal Action on Juventus Over $3.1 Million Unpaid Wages

Another former Juventus star has demanded his pending wages from the Turin club after Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus are under investigation by FIGC and the Prosecutor in Italy for financial irregularities. UEFA also opened a separate investigation against the Serie A giants. Now, Argentine star Paulo Dybala has sent a warning to the club over the outstanding wages. 

The scandal saw the president and the board of directors resign last year in November after the investigation started. FIGC is currently doing the second investigation. Serie A has sanctioned the Bianconeri after the first investigation as they deducted 15 points. It will be interesting to see how Juventus react to the ultimatum given by Dybala.

Paulo Dybala demands outstanding wages during the investigation

FIGC is in the second round of the investigation. They are investigating the players to whom Juventus still owes money. There are reports of the club reaching an agreement with a few players overpaying the part of outstanding wages under the table. They investigated Dybala last month for the same reasons.  

During the investigation, the AS Roma forward disclosed that Juventus still owes him $3.1 million. “I know that in April 2023, Juventus have the last opportunity to pay those €3 million what they owe me. Otherwise, my lawyer will make requests in writing. Although I hope I won’t go that far. I want my money back without filing any lawsuit,” Dybala added.

Dybala was one of the players at Juventus who gave up four months’ wages during the COVID pandemic. However, FIGC recovered some documents that show the players signed a secret agreement with the club where Juventus would pay part of the wages under the table as per La Gazzetta dello Sport. It was for this the Argentine was investigated, and he warned the former club to pay outstanding wages by the next month.
