Messi is about to reunite with CR7 in Serie A

Alessio Sundas, a famous “super agent” in Serie A, has just suddenly confirmed to the press: The plan to bring Lionel Messi to Serie A to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo is progressing smoothly. Sundas newspaper even named the team that Messi will join: Inter Milan.

The director of this historic reunion is Alessio Sundas, a FIFA-level representative who manages a number of not-so-famous players, but has always cherished the dream of bringing Messi to Serie A. Sundas affirmed that exactly 1 year ago, he contacted Barcelona and Messi's representative to propose this wish, but immediately received a blunt and decisive answer: No.

However, in a recent interview on Radio Goal 24, Sundas brought Italians some good news: “In the past week, I exchanged emails with Pep Segura, the general director of Barcelona, ​​and Messi's father. Last year, they answered 'no' very firmly. But this year, I noticed hesitation and ambivalence from the two most important figures in Messi's future. The attitude of Messi's father and Segura showed me the opportunity to bring Messi to Serie A,” Sundas said.

Ronaldo will receive a 2-year prison sentence

On January 14, Cristiano Ronaldo will have to appear in Madrid court to hear his sentence for evading 14.7 million euros in taxes.

During his time at Real Madrid, Ronaldo used a shell company in the British Virgin Islands to conceal his income from image copyrights from 2011 to 2014. After an investigation, the Madrid court confirmed CR7's illegal behavior and issued a specific penalty.

"The accused used a company set up in 2010 to hide from the tax authorities income earned in Spain through image rights," the prosecutor said.

Last June, Ronaldo himself accepted the charges from the Madrid court. And on January 14, 2019, the owner of 5 Golden Balls will have to be present in Spain to hear the final verdict from the court. That is a 2-year prison sentence. Not only that, Ronaldo also has to pay a fine of 18.9 million euros, including interest.

However, Spanish law has a mitigating factor because this is the first time Ronaldo has committed a crime. The 2-year prison sentence has been reduced to probation, meaning the Juventus striker will not have to spend a single day in jail during his sentence.

Ronaldo will agree with the court's decision (prison arrest), but he will try to convert it into a fine of 375,000 euros at the trial on January 14.
