Spanish Treasury demanding 41 million euros from Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico.


Real Madrid, Atletico, and Barcelona all owe Spanish tax authorities 41 million euros in total between the three of them, due to irregularities in the signings of players, according to El Confidencial.

Sevilla and Valencia are also implicated in the case, bringing the total up to 52 million euros.

The governing agency accuses the clubs of paying the commisions of the representatives of the players when that payment should have instead been made by the players themselvesAs such, that money should be returned to authorities, alongside each club’s respective fines for the wrongdoing.

LaLiga as an overarching body has neither ‘confirmed nor denied’ the claims made by the Spanish treasury.

It appears as though players aren’t the only ones in trouble with the authorities as far as large sums are involved, with clubs too back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
