Tabloid against Rooney: "He has escaped the tax authorities'

LONDON, January 18 - Wayne Rooney There is also the list of stars in the Premier League ended in the crosshairs of the United Kingdom tax authorities: the suspicion is that some contracts on the "image rights" - "not clear" - allowing players from across the Channel not to pay taxes on earnings millionaires.

The prosecution was launched by the Mirror tabloid reported that a system widely used in British football, "legal but questionable on the tax plan on the ethical." Part of the salary of Rooney, for example, which has a contract with United from € 240 thousand per week, is paid by United to the company that manages the player's image rights.

So Wazza, sole director of that company, can benefit from a far more favorable. A gimmick that - in times of crisis and layoffs as required by the last financial Westminster - is likely to put even more in bad light. But Rooney is not the only champion of the Premier to use this payment system: the list includes Gareth Barry, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Theo Walcott, David James, Michael Owen, Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere
