Real Madrid Named as player's closest team

It has emerged that Jorge Mendes, along with two other advisers to Cristiano Ronaldo, are to be added to the tax fraud investigation into the Real Madrid player.

Portuguese agent Mendes is being imputed into the case because Ronaldo referred to him and fellow representatives Luis Correia and Carlos Osorio as his closest 'team' who he 'pays very well not to have problems and this sort of nonsense'.

According to El Mundo, judge Monica Gomez Ferrer wants to verify the trio's degree of participation and responsibility in the winger's 14.7 million euro image rights tax discrepancy when court reconvenes on October 19.
