Juventus said in a statement late Wednesday that with the support of its legal counsel it's reviewing the decision made by the arbitration board, reserving all assessments and initiatives to preserve its rights.
Ronaldo played for Juventus from 2018-21, helping the club to two Serie A titles.
Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and the entire club board resigned in 2023 amid an investigation into false accounting which then resulted in a 10-point penalty for Juventus in Serie A and a ban by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) from Europe for this season.
Ronaldo now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
