The Taxman Scores Against Casillas

The agreement between public prosecutors, the Spanish Tax Agency and Leo Messi, which could cost Barça's Argentinean star up to 41 million, may just be the tip of the iceberg, because the taxman has his sights set on other players as well.

One of them is thought to be Iker Casillas, who is said to have already coughed up 2 million, according to reports in the Tuesday edition of 'La Vanguardia'.

The Catalan newspaper claims that as many as seven players are under inspection and that the Tax Agency is looking to strike similar agreements to the one it drew up with Messi, although the sums will obviously vary significantly in each specific case.

'La Vanguardia' reports on its website that Xabi Alonso and David Villa are two of the players under inspection by the tax authorities.
