Modric image rights questioned

Luka Modric is the latest player to be implicated in the Football Leaks scandal after apparently misappropriating image rights payments.

El Mundo alledges that since since moving to the Bernabeu in 2012, the Croatian has used a company in Luxembourg with his wife, Vanja, named as manager and his son, Ivano, also named in order to protect income from image rights.

The 31-year-old’s income stream could have been charged at 51% in Spain but the Central European state enjoys low tax rates of slightly above zero.

Hacienda has opened an investigation into Modric’s statements given between 2012 and 2014 due to these lack of payments in his country of employment.
