The interview raised eyebrows in the Manchester United hierarchy, and the two parties agreed to a mutual contract termination.
After his mutual contract termination, Ronaldo reportedly lost £16million that he would earn in the remaining seven months of his two-year contract with the Old Trafford club.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the five times Ballon d’Or winner has reached out to his former club -Juventus – to pay him an agreement that was struck during the Covid pandemic but which was not made public.
According to reports, the deal was not reported in the stock market or the club’s balance sheet and is said to be worth £17million.
Ronaldo’s demand comes a week after the entire board of Juventus resigned; president Andrea Agnelli, vice-president Pavel Nedved and managing director Maurizio Arrivabene were among a glut of high-ranking Juve board members to walk away from their positions.
