JUVENTUS are under investigation by Uefa to see if they breached any regulations in their record deal to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports.
The Old Lady forked out £99million to land the Portuguese superstar in the blockbuster transfer of the summer.
His arrival at the Allianz Arena meant Juve spent a total of KSh 28.6 billion (£217 million) during the transfer window which saw the likes of Douglas Costa and Joao Cancelo join the Turin club.
However, Calcio Mercato claims the deal could come back to haunt them as they are set to be scrutinized by the governing body to check their spending in the last window.
Juventus, however, may argue they balanced their financial books after selling Mattia Caldara and Gonzalo Higuain.
Legendary Gianluigi Buffon also ended his reign and join Paris Saint-Germain after failing to win the Champions League with the club.
Ronaldo’s extraordinary wages will be called into question after agreeing on a contract worth around KSh 26.4 million-a-week (£200,000) on his four-year deal.
But they will be hoping the extra revenue raised by Ronaldo’s signing including shirt sales, increase in ticket demand and a new television deal will help soften the blow.
Ronaldo finally kick-started his career in Serie A with his first goals for the club in a 3-0 win over Sassuolo at the weekend.
