Overview
- Labour judge Gian Luca Robaldo dismissed Juventus’ challenge, leaving the April 2024 decision in Ronaldo’s favor intact.
- Juventus must pay about €80,000 in legal costs following the failed appeal.
- The arbitration panel had awarded Ronaldo roughly half of the €19.6 million he claimed, citing flaws in Juventus’ private documentation, including the absence of his signature.
- Juventus had already paid the amount and recorded it in the 2023–24 financial statements, so the ruling adds no new balance-sheet impact.
- The club said its legal team will review the judgment and may pursue a further appeal to higher courts.
