An ingenious trick that brings Ronaldo closer to Real Madrid

The Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported that there is a way that Real Madrid can resort to recovering its historic target, the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, in his stronghold “Santiago Bernabeu” next summer.

Marca indicated that this agreement may be complicated for Ronaldo, due to the high taxes in Spain, compared to what he pays in Italy, but there is a way to escape from this matter.

The newspaper highlighted the statements of the CEO of “Himnus Football Lawyers”, 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 the best tax treatment in the five major leagues in Europe.”

To clarify the tax difference between Italy and Spain, Ronaldo annually pays 225 thousand euros to the Italian treasury on the income that reaches the Portuguese, which is close to 40 million euros per year, but in Spain the total amount paid by the taxpayer it can reach 20 million euros on the same amount.

The newspaper close to Real Madrid explained that the “Madeira missile” will escape the exorbitant bills of the tax authority in Spain, if it moves to Real Madrid and signs a contract for only one year, which means that it will pay only 19% of personal income not counting photography rights.

But if this trick is put into practice, 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.
