The accusations against Mourinho come just a week after Spanish authorities accused Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo of tax fraud, worth £12.9 million.

Former Portugal global, Luis Figo, says "nobody is indispensable" amid heavy speculation that his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Real Madrid.

While it would be sad to see Cristiano Ronaldo leave Real Madrid, Masters champion Sergio Garcia feels the Spanish and European champions would be fine without their all-time leading goalscorer.

Real could yet hold on to the World Player of the Year despite claims his decision to leave was "irreversible".

"I believe everyone must comply with their tax obligations and I know that Cristiano always does things the right way", Perez added.

Ronaldo, the reigning Ballon d'Or award victor, last week said he's being unfairly treated by Spain's tax authorities, whose "persecution" has made him determined to leave Real Madrid and the country, a source confirmed to ESPN FC. "I have not spoken with him since [the Champions League final in] Cardiff".

The 70-year-old construction magnate's third term in charge of Europe's most successful club spanning 15 years - 2000-2006 and since 2009 - was rubber stamped at a ceremony at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday.

In an earlier report, Marca said Ronaldo has told his teammates he was leaving and "there is no turning back". "The truth is we have great goalkeepers".

Barcelona star Lionel Messi was sentenced to a 21-month jail sentence and 2.09-million-euro fine past year for tax fraud.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been summoned to appear before a Spanish judge, and Jose Mourinho could be next.

Reports of a rejected €60million bid from United seem wide of the mark, though, according to Madrid president Perez, who remains keen to keep Morata in the Spanish capital. Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao and Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao, who have also been accused of tax fraud in Spain, are also clients of Mendes.
