Juventus President Andrea Agnelli has shown his support for superstar Cristiano Ronaldo saying that the club is calm over the issue and will support the Portuguese anyway they can.
According to ESPN, the Juventus president said he spoke to Ronaldo regarding the case as soon as it resurfaced and that talking to the Portuguese superstar reassured his initial thoughts. He added that the club will support anyway they can.
Last month, a woman from Las Vegas accused Ronaldo of sexually assaulting her in 2009, adding that the Portuguese had made a legal settlement to pay $375,000 to keep silent over the issue.
Kaitlyn Mayoraga made the claims in September while speaking to German publication Der Spiegel. Mayoraga, who was 25 at that time, said in a letter written during her legal battle that she and Ronaldo met at a nightclub in Las Vegas.
Last week, Ronaldo also broke silence over the allegations saying that “I am a happy man. We did the statement two weeks ago, if I’m not wrong. I am glad. Of course, I’m not going to lie in this situation. I’m very happy. My lawyers, they are confident and of course I am, too.”
He added that he was not worried about the allegations and was living a happy life. “I am living a happy life. I have family, four children. I am happy and my focus is on football. For the rest of the matters of my life, I have people to deal with them, so I am happy,” the Portuguese star added.
