Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is expected back in Madrid next Tuesday to attend a trial for tax evasion where Spanish prosecutors are asking for a 23-month prison sentence and fine.

Ronaldo’s former Madrid teammate Xabi Alonso is also due in court next Tuesday for another case of tax fraud.

The Portuguese striker who left real Madrid for Juventus last July, is expected to plead guilty after he agreed a settlement worth 18.8 million euros 16.5 million pounds with Spanish tax authorities last summer.

However, he is unlikely to serve any time in prison as Spanish law states a sentence of under two years for a first offence can be served on probation.

The prosecutor’s office said it was seeking a fine of 5.7 million euros, which it said Ronaldo had already paid, as well as interest of about one million euros.

That fine, expected to be confirmed on Tuesday in a Madrid court, is part of the total agreed in the earlier settlement.
