Alexis Sanchez in Barcelona Days

IT IS almost as if the Spanish tax system is run by Real Madrid supporters as after high profile investigations and prosecutions of some of Barcelona’s finest including Messi, Mascherano and Neymar, the microscope is now firmly fixed on the financial affairs of Chilean and Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.

It is suggested that the player “actively withheld” tax amounting to a little under €1 million through a Maltese company during his period as a Barcelona player from 2011 to 2014 although this is strenuously denied by the striker’s agent who insists “Alexis Sanchez has fully obeyed the laws imposed by the countries where he has resided.”
