Juventus have been ordered to pay Cristiano Ronaldo £8.3m in owed wages by an Italian court.

The Court of Arbitration said the club should pay what the player would have received after tax and other deductions.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner spent three seasons in Italy with Juventus between 2018 and 2021, helping them win two Serie A titles.

He left for his second spell with Manchester United and after 16 months at Old Trafford joined Saudi club Al-Nassr.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner – awarded to the world’s best player – was ranked by American business magazine Forbes as the world’s highest-paid sportsman in 2023, with earnings of £109m.
