If Juventus is smiling on the field (it is second in the standings), it must cope with the dissatisfaction of some of its former players. In recent days, there has been much discussion about the story involving former Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci, who is currently at Union Berlin following his unilateral exclusion from the Juventus team group, but now the Portuguese phenomenon Cristiano Ronaldo is additionally generating discussions. He currently plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, however he spent three seasons with Juventus from 2018 to 2021 (winning two titles, two Italian Super Cups, and an Italian Cup). Ronaldo has chosen to sue Juventus in order to retrieve a portion of his pay that was suspended during the pandemic. Monthly payments are clearly not a minor element in the case of Ronaldo, the very wealthy five-time Ballon d'Or winner, considering that they amount to the sum of 19.9 million euros net (the annual compensation was a total of 31 million net).
