The
possibility of a suspension looms over Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo. The
Portugal international may be suspended again as part of the investigation
launched into his former club Juventus’ false book-keeping and transfer
irregularities in the past.
Italian
journalist Paolo Ziliani said that 15 points were recently deducted from
Juventus after an investigation into their finances by an Italian court.
Ziliani
reports that the scope of the punishment for the Italian giants could stretch
beyond Italy and to players such as Cristiano Ronaldo’ who are no longer at
Juventus.
If
Cristiano Ronaldo or any other player is found guilty of falsely reporting
lower wages, they could be banned for 30-plus days.
Ronaldo
was at the Turin-based club between 2018 and 2021 and could receive this
punishment.
“All
members involved were questioned and admitted the circumstances [as part of the
investigation],” he said according to Sportbible.
Ronaldo
left Juventus for Manchester United in the summer of 2021.
