Cristiano Ronaldo ‘accepts two-year suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay £16.5m fine’ after tax fraud case

CRISTIANO RONALDO has agreed to accept a “two-year suspended prison sentence” and pay a whopping £16.5million fine.

The Real Madrid superstar had been seeking an agreement after being accused of defrauding the government in unpaid tax.

Cristiano Ronaldo 'has reached an agreement to pay Spanish government £16.7million'Cristiano Ronaldo ‘has reached an agreement to pay Spanish government £16.5million’Reuters

A settlement was thought to have been reached for a while but it hinged on the new government.

Ronaldo admitted four charges of fraud meaning he wouldn’t need to face anytime in jail.

El Mundo reported that Ronaldo offered around £12.9m in June last year which was rejected by the government.

The latest fine covers fees from authorities, fines and commission but he can now put the issue behind him.

Arsenal ‘set to hold talks with Manchester United ace Marouane Fellaini this week’ with contract expiring at end of month

ARSENAL are set to hold talks with Manchester United star Marouane Fellaini this week, according to reports in France.

The Belgian giant, 30, will have representatives meet with new Gunners boss Unai Emery ahead of a potential summer move, say Foot 365.

Fellaini has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for months now, with Paris Saint-Germain also interested.

And the former Everton ace will be available on a free transfer as his contract expires at the end of June.

Fellaini has also been linked with AC Milan, Marseille, Monaco and Besiktas in the past few weeks as European clubs jump at the chance of landing the Premier League veteran.

However, many believe the Belgian – who did make his nation’s World Cup squad – will stay at Old Trafford next season.

The big-haired United midfielder recently took his £2.3million mansion off the market.

The house – formerly owned by 1966 World Cup winner Alan Ball – comes fully kitted out with swimming pool, home cinema and even its own barber shop.

MAROONED FELLAINI Marouane Fellaini drops massive hint he could stay after taking £2.3m mansion off the market

However, it is no longer on the market, suggesting Fellaini is confident of staying put – at least beyond this summer.

Fellaini has been a divisive figure amongst United fans since his arrival from the Toffees in 2013 – going on to play 155 times in all competitions and scoring 20 goals.
