A leaked email between Juventus directors appears to suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo is owed £17million by the Italian club.
Ronaldo has called his lawyers to demand the outstanding payment from the club, which had never been publicly declared. The demand comes after the Portuguese superstar ended his relationship with Manchester United by mutual consent earlier this month, following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
The email addressed to Andrea Agnelli – the former Juve chairman who, alongside his entire board of directors, resigned last month – and the rest of the board, including Pavel Nedved, from director Vincenzo Ampolo has been published by Italian media, which appears to confirm the payment.
