Turin, July 13 (IBNS): The workers at a Fiat Chrysler plant in Italy are going on a strike after its main investor decided to sign Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo for Italian club Juventus at a huge amount of  €112m (£99.2m).

The Agnelli family, through their holding company Exor, runs both the car-making company and the Italian football club.

For the USB union, the strike will lead Fiat to might miss out on an investment.

The union said the company first needed to ensure the future of thousands of its employees "rather than enriching only one".

The USB union said the workers were making, “huge economic sacrifices” and it was completely unacceptable in this regard that so much money was being spent just to bring in a player.

Former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo has now become one of the four most valuable soccer players after he was signed by Juventus.
 
A four-year deal has been signed by the two clubs, Real Madrid and Juventus.

Ronaldo has won four Champions League titles during his nine-year stint with Real Madrid.

The 33-year old footballer was also in a good form during the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018.

Leading Portugal from the front, Ronaldo scored four goals including a hat-trick in the tournament.
