After ordering football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to pay 18.8 million euros to settle a tax fraud claim, Spanish authorities have reduced the sum by two million euros, the El Mundo daily reported yesterday. Spain's taxman and Ronaldo's advisors made the deal to settle claims for hiding income generated from image rights while he was playing for Real Madrid.

According to El Mundo, the tax authorities realised he paid two million euros too much last year for image rights he sold in 2014.
