Spain's public prosecutor has agreed to substitute Lionel Messi's suspended 21-month prison sentence for tax fraud with a fine, Spanish news agency, EFA reported on Friday.
Former agent of Lionel Messi, Horacio Gaggioli has revealed the club Messi would have joined instead of Spanish giants Barcelona. "But I was about to live in Madrid", Gaggioli was quoted as saying by ESPNFC on Saturday.
Earlier in June, a state prosecutor accused Cristiano Ronaldo a striker for Real Madrid of knowingly hiding income for image rights in Spain by using a complex business structure. "That's life, those are the details", he added.
Commonly regarded as one of the best footballers in the world Lionel Andres Messi is not just a name but also a brand.
Due to the laws in Spain, a prison sentence was never likely to have been served by the Argentine player. No one can say that anything is impossible in football.

The Thunderbirds said in the statement that their performance this weekend at the Dayton Air Show is to be determined. The pilot has reportedly been safely removed from the plane and gave a "thumbs up" to medics as he was taken away.
However, Gaggioli has admitted that he, like so many others, was sceptical about the chances of Messi after first laying eyes upon the Rosario native.
Barca has insisted a new deal remains on course for the five-time Ballon d'Or victor, who joined the LaLiga giant as a 13-year-old.
He blames Barcelona for that fact, claiming they failed to give him the recognition he deserved for bringing them arguably the greatest football of all time.
A few injury-hit seasons later, Messi established himself as the central focus of the Barcelona attack and was tearing apart defences all over Europe, culminating with goals in the final of the UEFA Champions League against Manchester United F.C.in 2009.
A year ago, Messi experienced one of the most hard periods in his career - the 29-year-old striker unexpectedly announced the suspension of a career in the Argentina national team and said the leadership of "Barcelona" about the desire to leave the club.
