Juventus escalates Ronaldo dispute, appeals to Italy's Court of Cassation

Juventus has taken its legal dispute with former striker Cristiano Ronaldo over €9.8 million in deferred wages to Italy's highest court.

• Juventus has appealed to Italy's Court of Cassation against a January 2026 Turin ruling that upheld an arbitration award of €9.8 million to Ronaldo.
• The appeal was formally notified on 27 March 2026, and no hearing date has been set.
• An arbitration panel in April 2024 ordered Juventus to pay €9.8 million plus interest, roughly half of Ronaldo's €19.6 million claim.
• Juventus said the ruling concerned only formal defects, not the merits, and that no further financial impact is expected.
