Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to sue Juventus as he believes he has not been paid a certain amount that was promised to him during the Covid pandemic.
Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport state that the superstar has taken the decision to sue the Old Lady, who allegedly owe him €19.9 million.
Ronaldo has already spoken to the Turin Prosecutor’s Office and now is set to pursue a case against the club.
His former teammate, AS Roma player Paulo Dybala, also spoke to the Turin Prosecutor but the Argentine reached an agreement with Juventus to be paid €3 million in wages.

Ronaldo back with Al-Nassr
The former Manchester United attacker joined up with the Portuguese national team last week as they faced off against Slovakia and Luxembourg in their Group J qualifiers for Euro 2024. But he was forced to miss their match against Luxembourg after receiving a yellow card against Slovakia. He is now back training with Al-Nassr following the international break.
The 38-year-old has had a wonderful start to the season in the Pro League with his current side, scoring six goals in the first four games as well as providing four assists. Al-Nassr have just nine points in the first five games and will be up against Al-Raed on Saturday, September 16.
