Juventus have been told they must pay Cristiano Ronaldo £8.3million after losing an arbitration case to their former player, according to reports.

In September, Ronaldo - who now plays for Saudi side Al-Nassr - decided to take legal action against Juventus over unpaid wages during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The Portuguese forward wanted to be paid £17million, the net amount that he was promised by the club when he agreed to defer his wages during lockdown.

Juventus players agreed to defer four months' worth of their salaries in March 2020 and April 2021 as the club were struggling financially, which was never received. 

The Italian side also failed to report these deferred wages - known as 'salary manoeuvres' - on their financial statements.
