The president of the Professional Football League of Spain (LFP), Javier Tebas, believes that one of the reasons that forced the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Real Madrid to sign for Juventus of Turin has to do with "tax issues" .
CR7 "will earn more net in Italy than in Spain. Therefore, Real Madrid had a hard time competing with the options they were giving him, "said Tebas on Tuesday in statements to the press. "Fiscally the exit to Italy favors him", commented the president of the LFP, for whom at an international level Spain has "a fiscal competition problem".
"That of course must have added to make that decision," added Tebas on the progress of the Portuguese forward of Madrid. "In the big leagues, the worst tax treatment that the players have is in Spain (...) We have a tax rate that is so penalized that it prevents us from growing as a competition", said the top Spanish football manager at the club level.
