The Spanish newspaper "El Confidencial" described an intriguing situation.
The leader of Madrid's "Real", Cristiano Ronaldo, is cunning not only on the football field, but also beyond it.
The 31-year-old Portuguese took advantage of legal loopholes and pays part of his taxes in Ireland, where some of the lowest rates in Europe are set.
It is claimed that since 2012, the forward has been using the services of the company "Multisports & Image Management Limited" and transfers millions of euros from impressive contracts with "Toyota", "Nike", "Konami" and other companies to Ireland.
This trick allows the sniper to save a considerable amount of money, as in this country a tax of 12.5 percent is set, while in Spain it is almost twice as high.
When the newspaper contacted representatives of C.Ronaldo, it was assured that everything is done legally and the player will not face similar problems as the leaders of "Barcelona".
