The Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported that there is a way Real Madrid may resort to regaining its historic goal, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, to his stronghold “Santiago Bernabeu” next summer.
Marca indicated that this deal may be complicated for Ronaldo, due to the high taxes in Spain, compared to what he pays in Italy, but there is one way to escape from this matter.

The newspaper highlighted the statements of “Himnus Football Lawyers” CEO Tony Roca, who said: “Ronaldo has a special tax system in Italy.”
And Tony added: “Ronaldo did not go to Italy by chance, but because it is the country that enjoys better tax treatment in the five major leagues in Europe.”
To clarify the difference in taxes between Italy and Spain, Ronaldo pays 225 thousand euros to the Italian treasury annually on the income that reaches the Portuguese, which is close to 40 million euros annually, but in Spain the total amount paid by the tax donator may reach 20 million euros on the same amount.
The newspaper close to Real Madrid stated that the “Madeira missile” will escape the exorbitant bills of the tax authority in Spain, if he moves to Real Madrid and signs a one-year contract, which means that he will pay only 19% of the personal income without counting the photo rights.
But if this trick is implemented, Ronaldo, 36, will be forced to leave Spain completely before June 30, 2022, because he will transform from a non-resident to a resident of the country.
