Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been accused of tax fraud totalling €3.3 million (£2.9m) relating to his time at Real Madrid.
On Tuesday, Ronaldo was told to appear in court on July 31, while Mourinho was accused by a state prosecutor of defrauding Spain's Tax Office of 3.3 million euros ($3.7 million).
Statements from the prosecution indicate that Ronaldo will be charged with using offshore financial instruments, including holdings in the British Virgin Islands, to hide payments made to him for the use of his brand to promote products. But tax authorities later found that some of the information presented in that settlement was incorrect, the prosecutors said.
Even so, Perez said he was convinced Ronaldo would stay and affirmed that his Real contract was protected by a one-billion-euro release clause.
Ronaldo has been linked with an exit from the Santiago Bernabeu, due to accusations of tax fraud, but Perez does not think that his player has done anything untoward.
Not only will it be the most expensive transfer of all time, it will be nearly 2 times as big as the world record transfer, while also being the biggest deal in history of football due to Hazard going the other way.
