The report highlights how the Portuguese star, who spent three years in Turin, is demanding to be repaid the €19.9m net that he was promised by the club when he agreed to defer his wages during the early months of the COVID pandemic.
These deferred wages are part of Juventus’ now-infamous ‘salary manoeuvres’, which are the subject of the ongoing Prisma legal case. After requesting the relevant documents from the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office, Ronaldo has now decided to take legal action against Juventus, causing another headache for the Old Lady.

According to the report, Juve’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, likes the midfielder a lot and could swoop to add him to the Bianconeri squad in the next transfer window. But first, they will have to get their finances in order before they can make a move and it should also be recalled that Lazio already have a pending business with the Bianconeri.
They signed Nicolo Rovella on loan with an obligation to buy on certain conditions while also signing Luca Pellegrini on a two years loan deal. Juve only need to convince the player and could begin the process of persuading him to join them soon, which could take him away from the hands of Lazio.
