Mr Mourinho's representatives, Gestifute Media, said earlier that he had paid more than €26m in tax at an average rate of more than 41% while living in Spain from June 2010 until May 2013. In 2015, Gestifute said, he accepted a settlement agreement regarding previous years. Several leading footballers also recently faced tax investigations in Spain. Argentines Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano and Angel Di Maria have all been punished for tax evasion while a case against Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo continues. He denies wrongdoing. £24m in tax, that's enough to cover all Cities spending in the last few years transfers costs etc, could build a few clubs new stadiums, no wonder the richer clubs get richer and the poorer poorer... gives an indication of how much Man utd might be paying him.. uk government is hopefully getting 40% of his salary... £6m in tax would pay for 200 or more nurses! the top 10 prem managers tax = 2000 nurses!
