Will the tax authorities actually care though? I suppose it depends on political pressure, if any.
It's also not like leaving Spain would make them forget that they believe he owes them money.

It seems it's not about the money, more that he feels he's been put in a precarious legal position by the action (or inaction) of the club.Isn't 15m chump change to him? Why not just pay it back and go on with life?
They can make double that on shirt sales. Free money for signing him innit.
Of course they care about significant tax evasion, hence why they'll pursue this if appropriate, and why they've gone after Messi/Mascherano/et al. The football leaks thing has given them ammunition.
According to United’s online shop, the printing and badges cost an extra £13.61. If we’re being optimistic, and United earn all of that plus 15% of the shirt revenue, that amounts to £23.82 per shirt. Which means, to cover the full £89 million, United would need to sell 3,736,356 Pogba shirts.
Especially when you consider the price of morata. Getting Ronaldo instead would be better. Look how long Giggs and Scholes went for. Think Scholes was 34ish when he scored that blinder against Barcelona in the 08 semi's and even after that came out of retirement to win the league.
Well Utd would still need another striker, However good Ronaldo is , the number of games he actually plays is coming down and chosen more carefully (seemed to be suggested in the CL final anyway, havent looked at the figures but seems reasonable) - so it would kind of make sense to get Morata or someone like that anyway
Difference is rooney is *****, Ronaldo is still performing. I doubt utd would ever get him back regardlessI wouldn't want him back for the amount he would cost. He is getting older, will be more injury prone and the PL is not the spanish league. He will get kicked from pillar to post. I want us to build for the future, not just a really expensive risk for another 2-3 years. I don't want another Rooney situation where we have a player on mega money who is holding the team back. He probably wouldn't be that but I don't want to risk it.
Just pay the tax owed and be done with it, geez it's not like he isn't short of a few ten million or so lol.
Doesn't he have an accountant to sort all of this? Shouldn't fault lie with them?
Seems he played about the average he usually does for Real. I being a United fan wouldn't say no to him coming back, can't think of any other Utd fans I know who would.
Actually he didnt - he played about 10 games less than he would "normally" - since 2010 more often than not he has played ~55 games a season and this season it was 46
How much would Ronaldo actually cost? The reported 800m buyout clause is just ridiculous.
As a united fan I would love him returning and Possibly even retiring here but don't see him being worth more than 50m.
£50m?! Not likely.
Obviously nobody will pay that buyout clause, but I can see Real Madrid wanting north of £100m, not that I think they'll sell him at all.
I hope we push the boat out and get him back but I don't see it happening.
