A recent Forbes report shows that Cristiano Ronaldo is the world’s highest-earning footballer, courtesy of his staggering £164 million annual contract with Al-Nassr and £49 million from sponsorships.

This places him leagues ahead of rivals like Messi and Neymar.

Notably, Ronaldo’s sponsorships alone surpass the combined earnings of Premier League stars Haaland, Salah, De Bruyne, and Kane. 

Adding to his triumphs, Ronaldo extended his international goal record to 125 during Portugal’s 3-2 victory over Slovakia in Euro 2024 qualifying.

Ronaldo’s dominance, both in the game and the financial arena, solidifies his status as an unparalleled icon in the world of football.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic Portuguese footballer, is set to sue Juventus Football Club for an alleged non-payment of €19.9 million, according to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport. 

The legal action comes as a response to the financial difficulties faced by Juventus during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Ronaldo, who previously played for Juventus from 2018 to 2021, has reportedly taken his grievances to the Turin Prosecutor’s Office. 

His decision to pursue legal action follows unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter through negotiations with the club. 

As of now, Juventus has not issued an official statement regarding the lawsuit, and the football world eagerly awaits further developments in this high-profile dispute.
