CR7 Clinches Victory: Ronaldo’s Legal Win Against Juventus Shocks the Soccer World
19 January 2026
Ronaldo Wins Legal Battle Against Juventus
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, now lighting up the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr, has won his legal battle against his former club Juventus over late payments owed to him.
The Court Rules in Ronaldo’s Favor
Spanish newspaper Marca reported that Ronaldo clinched the ruling in his favor, allowing him to keep 9.7 million euros Juventus had paid during the Covid-19 period without having to return it.
Costs for Juventus and What Happens Next
The court additionally ordered Juventus to pay about 80,000 euros in costs to the Turin appeals court.
Background of the Dispute
After leaving Juventus, Ronaldo moved to Manchester United before joining Al Nassr, and the dispute stemmed from a pandemic-era agreement freezing some player dues.
Judicial Progress
Four months earlier he had secured a ruling in his favor; Juventus appealed to the Turin Labour Court, which reaffirmed Ronaldo's entitlement.
Possible Next Steps
There is a possibility the Juventus administration could appeal again.
Punchline 1: If lawsuits were penalties, Ronaldo would be undefeated—just a different kind of free kick.
Punchline 2: Juventus might need a lawyer at the gym—training until they learn how to pay their bills.
