Ronaldo to pay €19m sum to end tax case against him, report claims

El Mundo reports the Real Madrid superstar is close to reaching an agreement with the Spanish Tax Agency which will bring legal proceedings to an end

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is discussing a €19 million (£17m/$22m) settlement with the Spanish Tax Agency which will bring legal proceedings against him to a close, reports El Mundo.

The Portugal international stands accused of four fiscal crimes relating to the taxation of image rights.

It was reported in April that the Treasury were exploring the option of withdrawing one of the accused crimes if the 33-year-old pleaded guilty.
